Artificial evolution ...... | ||
| This paper describes how evolutionary techniques of variation and selection can be used to create complex simulated structures, textures, and motions for use in computer graphics and animation. Interactive selection, based on visual perception of procedurally generated results, allows the user to direct simulated evolutions in preferred directions. | |||
| Biota.org - The Digital Biology Project ...... | |||
| The mission of Biota.org is to promote and assist in the engineering of complete, biologically-inspired, synthetic ecosystems and organisms. This involves the creation and deployment of digital tools and environments for simulation, research, and learning about living systems both natural and artificial. | |||
| Fractalus Entrance (Fractal Art, Info, and Contests) ...... | |||
| Information on fractals in general, and FractInt and Ultra Fractal specifically; how these images are created; tips, techniques, and tutorials. Information on purchasing high-quality prints of gallery images or a CD filled with high-resolution pictures. Fractal generators, formula and parameter files, screen savers, Windows themes, and mailing list archives. A small collection of links to sites you should visit, if you liked this one. Most¡ªbut not all¡ªare fractal-related sites. | |||

MS. GUIDANCE ARTIFICIAL LIFE GENETIC ART ...... | ||
| "Essentially, if we have criteria of ``fitness,'' anything which can be turned into a bit string can be evolved by genetic algorithms. As should be evident to anyone reading this, literature, pictures, sound and movies can all be turned into strings of bits. Once we have a measure of fitness, there is no a priori reason we could not turn standard techniques loose on an initial population of pictures, or sonatas, or sonnets. | |||
|
Organic, Genetic, and Evolutionary Art ...... | ||
| Evolutionary art is a comparativly recent artform, and is virtually exclusively generated on computers. The basic idea behind evolutionary art is that the artist is able to control the development of a piece of work through some form of "selection", in a manner analogous to natural selection. | |||
| Strange Attractors- ...... | |||
| Strange Attractors. Creating Patterns in Chaos by Julien C. Sprott. Art and science sometimes appear in juxtaposition, one aesthetic, the other analytical. This book bridges the two cultures. I have written it for the artist who is willing to devote a modicum of effort to understanding the mathematical world of the scientist and for the scientist who often overlooks the beauty that lurks just beneath even the simplest equations. | |||

Style 2000 ...... | ||
| the great debate of what is good art. what is good literature and what is good broadcasting seems to be everywhere | |||
