Different kinds of functions are explored, including mathematical expressions, Perlin noise-based terrain, and several image-based procedures. A method for displaying the particle swarm exploring the search space in aesthetically pleasing ways is described. Several experiments are detailed and analyzed and a number of interesting visual artifacts are highlighted.application/pdfengINFORMÁTICACOMPUTER SCIENCEINTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIALARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEOTIMIZAÇÃO POR ENXAME DE PARTÍCULASPARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATIONOTIMIZAÇÃOOPTIMIZATIONMETA-HEURÍSTICAMETAHEURISTICSESTÉTICA COMPUTACIONALCOMPUTATIONAL AESTHETICSSWARM ARTPROCEDURAL CONTENT GENERATIONAESTHETICS MODELFUNCTION LANDSCAPESarticle
