Evaluating an evolutionary method of design style imitation
We propose a computational method for producing novel constructs that fall within an existing design or artistic style. The method is based on evolutionary algorithms, and we discuss related knowledge representation issues. We then present an implementation of this method that we used in order to imitate the style of the Dutch painter Mondrian. Finally, we explain and give the results of a cognitive experiment designed to determine the effectiveness of the method, and provide a discussion of these results.
