the electric sheep screen-saver
Fascinating use of parallel processing ...
the electric sheep screen-saver
"electric sheep"
This software owes its name to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. It realizes the collective dream of sleeping computers from all over the internet.
When the screen-saver is activated, the screen goes black and an animated 'sheep' appears. Behind the scenes, the screen-saver contacts a server and joins the parallel computation of new sheep. Every fifteen minutes 24/7 a new sheep is born and distributed to all clients for display. Each sheep is an animated fractal flame.
The Interpretation of Dreams contains an artistic, conceptual, and technical explanation, or you can watch the streaming video documentary. Also available is a ten page academic paper to appear in EvoMusArt05.
Or, see super high-quality sheep dancing to music on the SPOTWORKS DVD. Includes the documenary at full resolution.
Design your own sheep movies with Shoop, the Sheep Loop tool.
Use the Apophysis genetic designer to create your own sheep and post them to the server.
