'''Evolutionary art''' is a branch of [[generative art]], in which the artist does not do the work of constructing the artwork, but rather lets a system do the construction.  In evolutionary art, initially generated art is put through an iterated process of selection and modification to arrive at a final product, where it is the artist who is the selective agent.

Evolutionary art is to be distinguished from [[BioArt]], which uses living organisms as the material medium instead of paint, stone, metal, etc.
