I've just commented on it (and note the difference between URL and title, someone got there quick :) ). I love the way he wants to say that evolution decreases information, but can't back himself up with math.
It looks like the filters applied on evolving art; picbreeder is a fun site for that.

I have seen these evolving pictures before, and they’re actually quite fun, but I haven’t seen people try to evolve an existing picture. It doesn’t make sense to.
What they have probably done is taken the picture, and run it into randomly generated functions - it’s actually the function that is evolving, not the picture. At every step, a human selects which one they like best - directed selection - and the process repeats. So this is actually ID, not evolution.
I’m not sure about the CSI decreasing, however. Anyone able to get values of the CSI for each picture?
