Summary:We present the results of our efforts to evolve ldquofountain paintingsrdquo - interacting streams consisting of several hundred encapsulated virtual paint particles that move under the influence of artificial gravity, are subject to collision detection and resolution, and burst open when they impact a virtual canvas. Using algorithmic art examples to motivate the orchestration of such fountains, we explore the formulation of computational criteria for aesthetic fitness evaluation which then lead indirectly to evolved compositions in a new and unexpected style.
