Illinois Genetic Algorithms Laboratory

Michael Najjar just completed a photographic exhibition at Bitforms Gallery in New York entitled Bionic Angel (see post here).

rapid development in the field of so-called "g-r-i-n technologies" (genetics, robotics, information and nano-technologies) are changing our bodies, minds, memories, and identities, but also impact on our progeny.

The work is explicitly inspired by genetic algorithms:

these developments based on genetic algorithms and neuronal networks mean that biological evolution can now be controlled; they open up the way to a new and superior form of existence for the human being.

More of the photographs may be seen here.
