Make your computer dream of Electric Sheep December 22, 2006

Posted by Al in : art,cgi,computers , trackback

I’m not sure about the name of this project, although I do appreciate the reference to Philip K Dick and the quotes from Blade Runner, but I am sure that it is a nifty idea. The Electric Sheep project is a screensaver which links with other PCs running the same software to create very beautiful animated graphics. The sheep/flock reference is because the program uses voting systems to work out which graphics are the best rated and then evolves it’s formula to produce prettier results. I had a look at the sample video here, and promptly decided to download and install the screensaver. There are some of the best creations available here as well.
