Abstract:
Electric Sheep is a distributed screen-saver that harnesses idle computers into a render farm with the purpose of animating and evolving artificial life-forms. Each clip of animation has a genetic code, and the collective voting of users determines its evolutionary fit- ness. A P2P network distributes the bandwidth of sharing the video and votes.
