Electric Sheep in New York

One of us Future Saloners: Spot Draves (You once set a foot into a Future Salon and you are one of us :-) and of course this is California, so you can never leave)

Spot has done a lot more. In June 2004 he presented his Art at the Future Salon. He also beautified the Accelerating Change Technight at SAP with his computer creations.

Little background for the people that don't know about his art:

Electric Sheep is a distributed screen-saver that harnesses idle computers into a render farm with the purpose of animating and evolving artificial life-forms. Each clip of animation has a genetic code, and the collective voting of users determines its fitness.

The voting is proof that the intelligent design proponents are right. Just look at these beautiful results, you need a guiding intelligence aka voting behind it to get to them. God does not play dice. ;-)

Seeing the results of a million hours of computer rendering, you really want to jump into them and ride the lines, fly through the the fractals and take a closer and closer look from all sides. It would totally change your perspective on beauty and life.

Finally the New York Art Scene is able to discover Spot and his Sheep too at the Art Expo. If you are in New York go there today or tomorrow.
