In this paper we describe our investigations of the use of Scalable Vector Graphics as a genotype representation in evolutionary art. We describe the technical aspects of using SVG in evolutionary art, and explain the genetic operators mutation and crossover. Furthermore, we compare the use of SVG with existing representations in evolutionary art. We perform two series of experiments and descri...
