Penousal Machado’s NEVAR system uses genetic algorithms to

simultaneously explore a space of complex mathematical formulae and a

corresponding space of rendering functions for turning this high-

dimensional formulae into colorful 2D images.

NEVAR interacts with its users in interesting ways. As it explores its

spaces, it presents its works in progress to be critiqued (like/dislike) .

NEVAR uses this feedback to taior

the fitness function of its genetic

algorithms, so as to adapt to the

aesthetic sensibility of its user.
