Today the Darwinian model of evolution by natural selection is widely acknowledged. It assumes that a new generation of individuals within a given species inherits properties from the previous generation, where the fittest survive. Fitness to survival is always evaluated within a given environment. It is not objective, but subjective to particular conditions which the individual happened to find itself in.

Michal Piasecki and Krystian Kwiecinski ingeniously applied the survival-of-the-fittest principle breeding the unique shape of the silver ring rather than designing it.

Breeding the Evolve Ring Silver:
The two designers used artificial selection in genetic algorithms to unleash a population of ring designs. From this first generation Michal and Krystian selected the most appealing individuals, which passed on attributes to the next generation. Iterating this evolutionary process they guided the ring's evolution step-by-step towards the silver ring's final shape. Thus survival-of-the-fittest becomes survival-of-the-most-aesthetic.
