Some sources which are not exactly what you are looking for, but
you may find useful:
1) Tom Ray's artificial life work (I plug him because he''s
from my alma mater!), as well as the rest of the AL crowd.
A number of them have played with various computer-driven
"evolutions".
2) Richard Dawkin's "The Blind Watchmaker". He proposed a
scheme for evolving shapes called biomorphs.
3) AK Dewdney's Computer Recreations column in Scientific American.
In particular, the one he did on biomorphs I believe covered
some other work similar to what you are proposing.
