In the interest of understanding the nature of creativity in human beings as a tool that favours innovation and the ability to rediscover ourselves, it is considered essential to dive into its waters, in order to generate new approaches, and to pave new paths, transcending what has been experienced in the world of visual arts until now. After two prior experiments, we decided to approach this knowledge applying new premises. As in previous projects, we contemplated the Artificial Intelligence screen, more specifically, pondering Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) because these deal with a technique that is linked more directly to biological processes1 than traditional computing techniques, to draw out everything possible on the subject. In this area we have adopted as constructive cornerstones towards a new form of creation: – Connected art. – Shared authorship. – The community of artists. – Interaction with the work.}}
