This article investigates the integration of Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in the realm of generative art and interactive digital installations. The study focuses on how these advanced algorithms can enhance artistic expression and interactivity, providing novel approaches for generating and optimizing art. Key innovations include the application of VAEs to create diverse and complex art forms, coupled with PSO to fine-tune these generative processes. The research demonstrates that VAEs significantly improve the aesthetic quality and variety of generated artworks, achieving an average aesthetic score of 8.3 out of 10. Integrating PSO further optimizes these results, enhancing the quality of outputs with a final score of 9.0. The study also reveals that this combination improves user engagement and satisfaction, with interactive installations utilizing VAE + PSO achieving a satisfaction score of 9.0, compared to 7.0 for traditional methods. The findings highlight the transformative impact of these algorithms on art generation, showing that while computational resources and time are higher, the artistic and interactive benefits are substantial. This research underscores the potential of combining deep learning and optimization techniques to push the boundaries of digital creativity and offers new perspectives for artists and designers. The article concludes that the synergy of VAEs and PSO represents a significant advancement in generative art and interactive installations, opening new avenues for future exploration and development in the field.
