Scott Draves – Dreams in HiFi
My friend Spot was in NYC last week promoting his new projects Dreams in High Fidelity and Moments in Genetic Time. He gave a talk at ITP that was very well received (and Dreams on a high-def projector is gorgeous). These new projects are marker points of his work with generative systems that has been going on for more than 10 years.
For Dreams and Moments Scott has curated the “best” of the Electric Sheep and rendered them at a much higher resolution. Each “sheep” is the seed for a fractal frame algorithm, and the sheep are evolved using a combination of genetic algorithms, direct human creation, and human voting. The sheep in these new projects represent the culmination of years of human labour and collaboration, and at hundreds of millions of hours of computation.
