Quine Salon: Artificial Life and how to create it
Artificial Life is a field of research where the goal is to create, sustain, or emulate life where it doesn't exist, for instance in computers. Since its inception, this field has seen the emergence of beautiful ideas and results. Being not only technically deep, but also visually inspiring and exciting, it has attracted scientists and artists alike. In this talk, Clément will share examples of things he loves about Artificial Life, give his perspective and insights on the field, and talk about where things are going.
Clément Hongler is Associate Professor in mathematics at EPFL. He fell love with cellular automata when he was 13 and this has led him to a 25-year journey involving graphs, probability, field theories, and neural networks.
