The idea of using genetic algorithms to reproduce art is interesting, the idea of computers manipulating images to create new art from old art is also cool(automagically). I've been playing around with it.
As for art - computers are just as able to create art as humans, but only because so many people define art from the observer's perspective. If a person is inspired by an image, it shouldn't matter that it was nothing more than some pixel shifting algorithm reshaping a random google image selection.
Would it be possible to use genetic algorithm to .. say, evolve a face by beautifying it? by "mating" it with anther face? It would be an interesting experiment. Perhaps I'll explore this concept in code.
There are also a bunch of articles out there confusing GA and A/B testing.
