Spring, 1997
- The Artificial Evolution Studio is planning a concert-exhibition for
the spring of 1997. This event will present a full-blown concert of music
created using artificial life, as well as an exhibition of other art employing
the same techniques.
Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:
- Genetic Algorithms
- Cellular Automata (Conway's Life)
- L Systems (Lindenmeyer's artificial botany)
- Computer Viruses
- Dawkin's Biomorphs
- Artificial organisms (Langton's Vants, Reynolds' Boids, MIT Mobots)
- Artificial environments (Tiara, Venus)
Interested in applications of these ideas to:
- music composition
- sound and image synthesis
- computer animation
- interactive sculpture
- installation art
The concert component will include diffused electroacoustic music as well
as pieces played by live performers and other "autonomous agents"
(computers or robots), and could include non-technical systems demonstrations.
The exhibition component will include computer graphics, prints and photographs,
robots and autonomous agents, video and "life" computer animation,
as well as interactive displays and presentations. The focus of this event
will be the artistic manifestation of artificial life in any form. If you
are currently working in this area and would like to participate, please
