Last weekend of "Evolution and Foundation" Exhibition! If you can't make it then listen to one of the AI-generated 'audio guides' at 2ne.com/ef-oxo (try the 2nd one) and visit evolutionandfoundation.com where we combine Mutator technology and Google DeepMind AI to create evolutionary art.
A 4x4 grid of sixteen AI-generated images based on the prompt "chameleon," which is written vertically on the left. Each image depicts an abstract, 3D molecular model of a chameleon-like creature against a white background. The figures are composed of green, segmented bodies, brown, bumpy crests, and various blue, white, and reddish-brown vine-like appendages. Some have a long, curled tail. Each image is labeled with an alphanumeric code at the bottom right.

A black and white generative art piece showing a grid of wireframe illustrations that depict the evolution of a fly's head, starting from a simple segmented shape and progressing into a complex, detailed insect head with large compound eyes.

A 4x4 grid displaying 16 variations of a 3D digital 'fly head' from the 'Evolution and Foundation' exhibition. Each unique form is characterized by large, spherical green eyes and highly detailed, varied structures for antennae and mouthparts. This image highlights the diversity generated by the AI's evolutionary process as it works towards a single creative prompt.

An intricate AI-generated abstract image on a light gray background, depicting complex, symmetrical biological or molecular structures. The structures are composed of numerous small, irregularly shaped forms and strands in colors like deep purple, olive green, earthy brown, light teal, and golden yellow. The central part of the image appears to split, revealing internal complexity. White text is overlaid at the bottom: "Evolution + Foundation" in large font, followed by "William Latham Stephen Todd Dylan Banarse," "Google DeepMind," and "AI Art" in smaller text.

Artist William Latham on the results: "We were fascinated to see what this new approach of ‘Targeted Evolution’ would produce and the outcomes have far surpassed our expectations."

It’s a glimpse into a new frontier of co-creation.
#HumanAICollaboration #AIArt
A 4x4 grid displaying 16 different 3D digital forms from the "Evolution and Foundation" exhibition, generated by an AI in response to the "prompt: chameleon". Each form is a unique, abstract creature with organic textures, combining brown, bumpy shell-like parts with green, vine-like structures and blue accents. Some have long, curly tails. The grid showcases the diverse outcomes of the evolutionary art process, all attempting to interpret the same creative goal.

This is a true human-AI collaboration, bringing together artist William Latham, mathematician Stephen Todd, and @GoogleDeepMind Research Engineer Dylan Banarse.

The work is curated by Prof Frederic Fol Leymarie of @GoldsmithsUoL.

A highly detailed, hand-drawn evolutionary tree titled 'The Empire of Form' by William Latham (1985–86). The vast black-and-white line drawing showcases the FormSynth process, mapping the evolution of forms from simple geometric primitives at the top, through hundreds of generations, into a complex and diverse array of surreal, organic, and mechanical-looking structures at the bottom. This artwork visualizes the rule-based, manual creation process that was a precursor to the computer-generated evolutionary art featured in the 'Evolution and Foundation' exhibition.

Inside the gallery, you won't just see the final art. You'll explore giant "evolutionary trees" showing the work's journey over hundreds of generations.

You can even read the AI's "thoughts" on its creative choices and listen to an AI-generated podcast about the project's genesis.
An evolutionary tree diagram from the "Evolution and Foundation" exhibition, visualizing the generative process of evolving a 3D digital form, labeled 'a diatom', over 200 generations. The complex branching tree begins with simple shapes at the top and diversifies into a wide array of colorful, intricate forms, including spiky starbursts and textured spheres. A prominent red line traces the primary lineage from an early ancestor to the final, large and complex diatom form at the bottom.

More than AI art, this is AI as the artist.

Our 'Foundational Evolution' process marries 35yrs of genetic grammar from artist William Latham & mathematician Stephen Todd with Gemini. The AI interprets abstract visuals like an inkblot test, selecting which forms 'survive' & evolve.
A two-part diagram from the "Evolution and Foundation" exhibition illustrating a genetic algorithm for generative art. The top flowchart shows an AI-driven process: A "Tournament objective prompt" directs the Gemini AI, which evaluates pairs of images from the "Mutator" system. Gemini selects "Winners," whose "Genes" are mutated to create new forms in a continuous loop. The bottom diagram visualizes a "binary tournament" in action: a "Current generation" of abstract forms is randomly paired, Gemini selects winners (green checkmark) and rejects losers (red X), and a "New generation" is formed from the winners and their mutated offspring.

What happens when a pioneering artist hands creative control to an AI?

Announcing "Evolution and Foundation," a new London exhibition where Google's Gemini acts as the artist, directing the evolution of complex 3D art.

A highly detailed black and white line drawing of the head of a fantastical creature, identified as a "spiky dinosaur" from the "Evolution and Foundation" exhibition. The creature is shown in profile and is composed of intricate patterns: its face has cell-like scales, a crest is made of bundled filaments, and a flowing mane is formed by long, spiky strings of beads. This is an example of generative evolutionary art created through an algorithmic process.

Image Breeder - Evolve Imagen prompts using Gemini.
Start with a prompt, then mutate, crossbreed and/or guide with further prompting.
Works with free-tier but free credits run out pretty fast!

#Promptbreeder uses direct and indirect ways to prompt LLMs to create and refine diverse task-prompts using thinking styles and mutation-prompts.

We use the #LLM to generate new mutation-prompts to improve the way Promptbreeder improves. Self-referential and self-improving!

Here #Promptbreeder is evolving task-prompts to solve a task where it has to state whether a given word has the same meaning in two different sentences.

Prompts accumulate subtle but effective mutations over time leading to the highest performing prompts.

The LLM proposes task-prompts, refines them and most excitingly proposes new ways of refining them in a evolutionary loop, achieving state-of-the-art prompt strategies on commonly used arithmetic and common sense reasoning benchmarks.

In school I was taught that leaving money in an account for 45 years would accrue loads of compound interest. That's the theory. In practice you get screwed over when the bank drops your interest rate to almost zero when your back is turned! @nsandi @MoneySavingExp
