Evolvotron is described as 'Interactive "generative art" application for Linux to evolve images/textures/patterns/animations through an iterative process of random mutation and user-selection driven evolution' and is an app. There are seven alternatives to Evolvotron for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Web-based and Java apps. The best Evolvotron alternative is Artbreeder, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Evolvotron are Perceptron, SBART, Kandid and ImageSpace.
Artbreeder aims to be a new type of creative tool that empowers users creativity by making it easier to collaborate and explore. Originally Ganbreeder, it started as an experiment in using breeding and collaboration as methods of exploring high complexity spaces.
Perceptron is a video feedback engine with a variety of extraordinary graphical effects. Perceptron is an endless flow of transforming visuals.
SBART is a design support tool to create an interesting 2-D CG image based on artificial selection, which was originally proposed as Artificial Evolution by Mr. Karl Sims
Kandid is a system to evolve graphics. Graphics, in Kandid, is not drawn by hand. Instead new forms can be found using genetic algorithms. To achieve this aim Kandid simulates evolution using sexual reproduction and populations.
Although Evolvotron is more pleasant to use and the quality of the output is greater, Kandid has more mathematical different definitions so it can produce more different art.
ImageSpace is OpenSource software running on Unix/X11 systems. It is a genetic image generator, that means it generates and mutates mathematical functions while the user's aesthetic perception is the fitness function, selecting an image which will be mutated.
SBART4 is a design support tool to create an interesting 2-D CG image based on artificial selection, which was originally proposed as Artificial Evolution by Mr. Karl Sims
The paintings that you see here are simulated organisms that evolve in an attempt to satisfy what it is we think they should look like.

Video art is a hidden feature of Evolvotron while perceptron focuses everything in art video. Can be also called "art video glitching" although the effects are not the typical of glitch art.
