STEIM workshop announcement:
Emergent Content Creation Using Simple Genetic Algorithms
By Kim Cascone
The workshop will be 4 days, held from October 21 - 24, 2004.
The deadline for applications is October 1st, to enable Kim to start communicating with the applicants before the actual workshop.
The course cost is €160. Registration is required and places are limited to 12.
The concept for this workshop was inspired by John Maeda’s "Human Powered Computer Experiment" (http://www.imrf.or.jp/HPCE.html). In this experiment Maeda recreated the internal operations of a simple computer using people to physically transport handwritten instructions and data to and from the CPU, RAM, FPU, etc. Participating in this type of experiment enables one to best learn abstract concepts using their body as a medium.
In similar spirit, this workshop develops a group workflow using the model of a simple genetic algorithm (SGA) with the end result being an emergent work of music/sound art.
Participants need only bring a laptop (Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi card is needed), their favorite audio software tools, a web browser and a spirit of experimentation and exploration.
