Electric Sheep Creator Spot Draves at Gnomedex
I first started creating digital artwork back in the mid 80s on my IBM PCjr in amazing 16 colours. In the 90s I switched to using Director and then Flash 3+ to create various pieces that I have long lost to the digital scrapheap. Last week at Gnomedex 10 in Seattle I watched artist/programmer/DJ & Googlite Scott Draves present 2 decades of open source artwork, and i wished I could recover some of my lost art.. but at the same time my work could never compare to the amazing and complex work Scott produces like the Darwinian AI Screen-saver Electric Sheep. Watch the video from gnomedex, and ask yourself if androids dream of electric sheep.
Here are my live tweets from the presentation:
As always Many Thanks again to Chris Pirillo & the Gnomedex 10 Team for a great Conference.
