The Painting Fool Exhibition

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/600762/robot-art-raises-questions-about-human-creativity/

The Painting Fool is the brainchild of Simon Colton, a professor of computational creativity at Goldsmiths College, London, who has suggested that if programs are to count as creative, they’ll have to pass something different from the Turing test. He suggests that rather than simply being able to converse in a convincingly human manner, as ­Turing proposed, an artificially intelligent artist would have to behave in ways that were “skillful,” “appreciative,” and “imaginative.”

This is quite a bizarre example of technology creating art without an operator. Using algorithms in order to generate creativity and artwork. Really relevant to what I'm looking at...
