Visual Observations:

• Items click into place for view
• Styling is consistent across pages
• Uppermost parent is hidden away, not in the main gallery view
• Name made of name+parent1+parent2
• Visually be able to see what attribute are from which parent

Thoughts:

• This website itself is art, not just the generated image, but the process and evolution/algorithm is part of the art
• Idea of exploring visual variation through "breeding"
• Ability to "trace" down the ancestor is very interesting because it allows for a deeper understanding of the creative process as I can see what they inherited from their "parents" (forms, colors, textures)
• In the small scale perspective, it is interesting to see them individually and trace them. But when put together into a whole gallery, it is easy to lose track and individuality and uniqueness of each piece

This begs the questions:

• How is art made from other arts? How does this relate to modern-day copyrights, etc.?
• Where did art come from? Is it Adam and Eve?
• How do you decide on the "optimal state" for art? (Artist choose some and "freeze" them)
