The problem of genetic representation in (creative) evolutionary systems that aspire to taking part in cultural production is reformulated in the more general terms of the necessary structuring of the search space. Cumulative (aesthetic) selection of "naked genes" is discussed as an alternative approach whereby no germ-line/somatic-line distinction is explicitly implemented. The feasibility of this approach is illustrated on a computer application ASNakedGene, which therefore allows evolutionary runs to be seeded by arbitrary sets of digital (or digitised) images and generates variation through direct operation on the arrays of pixel values (as opposed to "genetic" representations of them).
