In the last few decades, nature and bio-inspired digital art has been attracting many researchers with background in arts and sciences, especially computer scientists and visual artists.

This exhibition is the first of its kind at the AISB convention and it incorporates various aspects of generating artworks using swarm intelligence, evolutionary algorithms, artificial neural networks, multi-agent systems, artificial life and any other algorithm or method that derives from the natural world.
