Historical context & research account
Dawkins's Biomorph program uses recursive rules and human selection to demonstrate cumulative evolution. It is not machine-learning art, but belongs alongside the evolutionary practices of Sims and Latham in a history of interactive evolutionary aesthetics, where creators select descendants within a generative space instead of drawing each result directly.
