[Nettime-nl] Transnatural academy - Simple Genetic Algorithms |
*Simple Genetic Algorithms* In this workshop designers, artists, programmers and electro-tinkerers develop ideas for new, simple genetic algorithms that produce image or sound or that fabricate objects. Genetic algorithms are computational techniques that mimic biological evolutionary processes. Applied in design fields, they can generate unpredictable form solutions and variability in answer to design goals. After an artistic and technical introduction participants generate ideas in groups with mixed skills and develop their ideas in a guided process. The workshop will be introduced and coached by artist and engineer Luis Rodil-Fernández. The workshop consists of three sessions spread over 6 weeks. The process will be documented in a blog on the Transnatural.org. The aim is to develop work and documentation material that will be part of the exhibition Things That Mind Their Own Business at the Transnatural exhibition in may 2012 in the NEMO Science Center. The workshop consists of 3 events that take place over a 6 week period. The entire process will be followed by a blog on www.transnatural.org price: € 25 / half day, incl. lunch duration ± 4 hours, 3 half days over a period of 6 weeks dates: Sat. 17 Dec., Sat. 14 Jan., Sat. 28 Jan. 14.00h Location: Transnatural workspace: Lijnbaansgracht 148hs.
