SGI - Mars - sold at SIGGRAPH '98. A year or so later, I tried to get one from SGI by searching their store and writing the company, to no avail. Anyone know where I can find one that didn't get the tons of wear my holey one did? Not much of a logo on it, just the small cube and SGI logo, made for and sold by Silicone Graphics. It had a rover and rocks on it, and the phrase "it's what you do with it" emblazoned across the main body. The neck was ringed with orange rib, though the sleeves and main hem were simple double-fold knit fabric edges of the finished garment. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.129192 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:29:02 -0800 marsgear orangeshirt resolved SGI SIGGRAPH tilde http://ask.metafilter.com/128632/Teach%2Dthis%2DTeacher%2Dwhat%2Dto%2Ddo%2Dat%2DSIGGRAPH High School Teacher going to SIGGRAPH for the first time. Please hope me. I teach basic animation and digital art in High School. I am lucky enough to go to SIGGRAPH this year in NOLA.

A few years ago I saw a fascinating video on genetic programming. Some researchers had created a computer program that acted as a kind of virtual fish tank, and using genetic algorithms evolved creatures that swam in it out of block-like parts. The video was of the various blocky "creatures" swiming, wriggling, and flopping around the virtual world. Does anyone have any information on this video, and a way of getting a copy, if possible? It might have been a SIGGRAPH presentation, but I'm not really sure. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.56940 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:57:53 -0800 AI evolution genetic programming SIGGRAPH unreason
