Breeder
(software, 2009)
This breeder was created for the Art That Breeds Art course taught by Driessen & Verstappen in December 2008 at the Interfaculty ArtScience. It is based on the idea of artificial evolution as proposed by Richard Dawkins in his book The Blind Watchmaker.
When you select 2 of the 9 options they will breed with each other and spawn a new generation. By double clicking on one option, only mutation is applied. Turning speed, locomotion, colour, branching and geometry are all coded into the DNA.

Breeder was shown at the 2009 KABK open day as part of the ArtScience exhibition.
