... eight artificial “mono-cellular” creatures, each having the size of a single pixel. They are simple autonomous machines that operate according to a built-in program. The creatures are able to change the colour of the pixel they stand on, and move to a...

... together my interest in cosmology, computer programming and kinetics. I believe causality in certain circumstances operates from future to past. The future, the present and the past are tied together in a subtle interdependence. The effects of the...

... presented a certain allure. Many summers were also spent at my family's cottage near Bracebridge, on property owned and operated by the Spiritualist Church of Canada - Springdale Park. My interest in seances and telepathy was sparked as I was exposed to...

... Along the way it has figured out how to control us, becoming one of the machines that we will give our lives to keep operating. I developed Extruder as a response to this machine that we worship. I wanted to celebrate it. Criticize it. Emulate...

... from Sony which already has a programming software, but I rather use the robot from Tiger & Silverlit that I literally must operate. I have to make hardware modifications before being able to entirely reprogram it. The term which is appropriate for this...

... the results weren't very impressive. Utilizing the newer very fast PC's coupled with optimized code and the Linux operating system, I've been able to achieve performance that even I can't believe. The new configuration uses a 17" LCD...

... augmented on a series of sliding racks. Token rotation maps to parameter selection; token adjacencies maps to Boolean AND/OR operations; token ordering maps to result sorting; and individual racks map to parenthetical groupings. The interface should support...

... between different types of bacteria. “Beloved” represents an evolutionary model which places an act of positive co-operation ahead of the competitive genetic model of natural selection. In the greenhouse converter, water fleas react to this word, which...

... can be applied to only a limited set of relatively simple computational tasks, the ability to observe the details of their operation makes many of them easy to understand and use. In contrast, modern computers can handle tasks that are more abstract and...

... multi-person interaction) with the benefits we can get from computer augmentation (interactive commands, functions, queries, operations, importing and exporting data, and remote collaboration). We believe this type of interface is thus more effective for...
