Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic matierial of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind." http://www.strandbeest.com/ **GOLEM** (Genetically Organized Lifelike Electro Mechanics) involves a set of experiments in which simple electro-mechanical systems evolved from scratch to yield physical locomoting machines. http://demo.cs.brandeis.edu/golem/ **Framsticks** "is a three-dimensional life simulation project. Both physical structures (ìbodiesî) and control systems (ìbrainsî) of creatures are modeled. It is possible to design various kinds of experiments, including simple optimization (by evolutionary algorithms), coevolution, open-ended and spontaneous evolution, distinct gene pools and populations, diverse genotype/phenotype mappings, and species/ecosystems modeling." http://www.frams.poznan.pl/ ==== audiographics ==== * http://www.amorphoscapes.com/ * http://www.soundtoys.net/ ==== biological ==== see [[bioart]] ==== other ==== "Art tells the jokes that science insists on explaining." -- Henry Warwick toyama 風邪薬、いろいろ > http://www.irukahouse.com/~you/toyama/ http://www.conceptlab.com/ http://www.asci.org/home.html haiku of the elements > http://www.iscifistory.com/scifaku/elements/periodichaiku.asp ART (protein product of **a**gouti- **r**elated **t**ranscript) as an antagonist of MC-3 and MC- 4 receptors
