Groups

Art

Members of the Creative Systems Lab in collaboration with The Lighthouse Media Centre are the founders of Blip, a discussion forum for new forms of art that explore generative and procedural processes, interaction, emergence and artificial life. They have organized presentations, exhibitions, gigs and three Big Blip festivals. The EASy group also organised the Like Life art exhibition at ECAL 1997. Paul Brown is currently Visiting Professor in the CCNR working on the project Computational Intelligence, Creativity and Cognition: a multidisciplinary investigation. There have been several Artists-in-Residence: Stelarc in 1999; Paul Brown and Beccy Edwards in 2000; and Sol Snetdvedt in 2001.

Industry

Members of the EASy group have strong collaborative links with a variety of firms (see the industry involvement page for further information). Our industrial contacts in the UK include: Naturalmotion, British Aerospace, British Gas, British Telecom, Cyberlife Research, Hewlett Packard, Glaxo-Wellcome, Logica, MASA, Merlin Biosciences, Millennium Interactive, Nortel (formerly BNR Europe), Rolls-Royce, Smithkline Beecham, Sony Psygnosis, and Warner Interactive Entertainment. Overseas contacts include Applied AI Systems (Canada) and Advanced Telecommunications Research (Japan).

MASA (formerly Mathematiques Appliques), is a French company with close links to our group, and their Sussex office is located on campus in the Innovation Centre.

Anthropology

Lars Risan spent several months studying our Artificial Life group in its early days during 1994 from the standpoint of a Social Anthropologist. His anthropological dissertation on ALife-research, centred on our group, is available: Artificial Life: A Technoscience Leaving Modernity
