In this workshop programmers, designers, artists, and electro-tinkerers develop ideas for new, simple genetic algorithms that produce image or sound or that fabricate objects. Genetic algorithms are computational techniques that mimic biological evolutionary processes. Applied in design fields, they can generate unpredictable form solutions and variability in answer to design goals.

After an artistic and technical introduction participants generate ideas in groups with mixed skills and develop their ideas in a guided process. The workshop will be introduced and coached programmer and artist Luis Rodil-Fernández.
