IntelligentDesigner Preview

Jason Van Anden: IntelligentDesigner Preview at Dorkbot May 3rd, 7pm Location One Gallery in Soho, New York City--What do you get when you combine probablistic programming paradigms, computers with feelings and a room full of the gifted and talented? Artist / Technologist / Robot Maker Jason Van Anden will demonstrate the beta of his newest creation (code named IntelligentDesigner) - software that enables pretty much anyone to control things in an uncontrollable way. ID was originally invented to enable improvisational behavior simulating human emotional mechanics between his life-size emotive robots Neil and Iona. In its current incarnation, ID can be used to easily create rich multilayered living music from samples, with many more esoteric applications coming down the pike. Jason hopes to get feedback of ID beta from the Dorkbot ranks and recruit some early adopters to start making things with it before its official release this Fall.
