exploit the generative nature of ecosystem processes. While ecosystemic methods
don't offer a “magic bullet” in terms of searching the creative Klondike spaces of
any generative system, they do make it easier to at least begin to conceptualise and
design systems capable of high creative reward. As the complexity and sophistica-
tion of ecosystem artworks develop, we are likely to see further advances in the new
creatively made possible with computers that use this approach.
