Florentin Koch from \u00c9cole Polytechnique and HEC Paris, alongside colleagues, introduce \u2018Recursivism\u2019 , a novel conceptual paradigm to analyse art capable of self-transformation. This paper formalises recursion, a principle well-established in mathematics and computer science, as an aesthetic lens through which to view art that doesn\u2019t just change its outputs, but actively modifies its own generative processes. By establishing a five-level analytical scale and three operational criteria , state memory, rule evolvability, and reflexive visibility , Koch et al. provide a crucial tool for distinguishing truly self-modifying art from related fields, offering fresh perspectives on art history and prompting vital discussion around the aesthetic, curatorial and ethical challenges of AI-driven creativity.<\/p>\n<p>This scale provides a rigorous method for understanding the degree of self-transformation within an artistic system. This perspective suggests that artistic evolution isn\u2019t simply linear progression, but a cyclical process of refinement and fundamental change. Artificial intelligence, the researchers demonstrate, renders this recursive logic technically explicit through learning loops, parameter updates, and code-level self-modification, literalising structures previously implicit in artistic processes.<\/p>\n<p>The work establishes that AI doesn\u2019t just execute artistic intentions, but actively participates in the generative process, potentially leading to entirely new forms of artistic expression. These concepts provide a concrete methodology for identifying and analysing recursive artistic systems.
