abstract = "We create artworks using adversarial coevolution
between a genetic program (hercl) generator and a deep
convolutional neural network (LeNet) critic. The
resulting artificially intelligent artist, whimsically
named Hercule LeNet, aims to produce images of low
algorithmic complexity which nevertheless resemble a
set of real photographs well enough to fool an
adversarially trained deep learning critic modelled on
the human visual system. Although it is not exposed to
any pre-existing art, or asked to mimic the style of
any human artist, nevertheless it discovers for itself
many of the stylistic features associated with
influential art movements of the 19th and 20th Century.
A detailed analysis of its work can help us to better
understand the way an artist plays with the human
visual system to produce aesthetically appealing
images.",
