Multiuser Sketchpad | Ricardo Cabello
www.ricardocabello.com/blog/post/701

Multi-user sketch pad is just what the the title suggests – a sketchpad that can be drawn on my multiple, anonymous users around the world. I see this as a different kind of generativity. A kind where the code facilitates rather than creates the product. Similar to Aaron Koblin’s sheep market, but this is an open market. What makes this project most exciting to me though is the ability to use it as a screen-saver. I love the idea of a screensaver that reflects something real, happening live in the world.

.Float | Krzysztof Goliński

.Float uses a living organism as an input into an algorithm which then generates a 3d form. Similar to the Mutliuser sketchpad but in this case the organism(s) are unaware of their involvement the creation of the final product.

Drawing faces | Matthew Plummer-Fernandez

Drawing faces is interesting because it uses a human as the tool to draw. As the human starts to draw a face, the algorithm decides whether the line that has just been drawn makes the drawing more or less face-like. If it is less, the stroke is erased. If it is more, the stroke stays. The resultant drawing will be facelike but ultimately random.
