We analyse works of digital art that use a technique from artificial life (ALife) called
computational ecosystems (CEs). These are systems running on computers where agents …

In this paper we introduce a novel approach to dance choreographies in virtual worlds. We
present a dance performed by avatars in a virtual world, where a computational ecosystem …

We study the use of the generative systems known as computational ecosystems to convey
artistic and narrative aims. These are virtual worlds running on computers, composed of …

The work we describe here, adopts epigenetics1 as one of the design strategies. The system
considers the available free-memory of the computer where the model runs as an …

In this chapter we look in detail at digital artworks which employ a technique from Artificial
Life (ALife) called Computational Ecosystems (CEs). These are systems where digital …

This research is an exploration of issues surrounding the artistic production of
Computational Ecosystems. A Computational Ecosystem is a system of agents designed to …

The development of computer systems with communities of agents organized as ecosystems
is a practice with some already established tradition in the disciplines of Artificial Life (or …

In this paper, we examine virtual ecosystems as general-purpose authoring tools for
heterogeneity and spontaneity, and discuss the use of such systems as animation drivers in …
