Interactive Evolutionary Evaluation through Spatial Partitioning of Fitness Zones

This paper discusses how large-scale interactive evolutionary design can be accomplished through innovative evaluation interfaces. An application example from the world of textile designing and fine arts serves to illustrate an evolutionary evaluation interface using spatial arrangements. The new interface allows the designer to drag and drop images that represent solutions into fitness zones on the screen. As our team consists of two computer scientists and an artist, we also explore the collaborative relationships among the team members, and between the artist and the evolutionary system.
