Craig Venter. Biologist, author and businessman Craig Venter discusses his work mapping and synthesizing genomes. Venter recalls his work mapping the human genome and expands on his current work which includes categorizing new genes and species of microbes from ocean water. Venter also explains how microbial research can be used for metabolic engineering and alternative energy sources. J. Craig Venter, PH.D. is regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 21st century for his contributions to genomic research and is one of the country’s most frequently cited scientists. He is Founder and President of the J. Craig Venter Institute and J. Craig Venter Science Foundation, not-for-profit research and support organizations dedicated to human genomic research, exploration of social and ethical issues in genomics, and alternative energy solutions through microbial sources. He is also the Founder and Chairman of the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR). Dr. Venter began his formal education after serving as a Navy Corpsman in Danang, Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. After earning a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and a Ph.D. in physiology and pharmacology, both from the University of California at San Diego and both in three years, he was appointed professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. In 1984, he moved to the National Institutes of Health, where he developed expressed-sequence tags (ESTs), a revolutionary strategy for gene discovery. In 1992, he founded TIGR, where he and his team decoded the genome of the first free-living organism, the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, using an original whole-genome shotgun technique. Since then, TIGR has sequenced more than 50 genomes using Dr. Venter's techniques. Dr. Venter is the author of more than 200 articles and the recipient of numerous honorary degrees, public honors, and scientific awards, including the Financial Times Man of the Year Award, TIME Magazine Man of the Year (runner up), 2002 Gairdner Foundation International Award, and the 2001 Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize. Dr. Venter is a member of numerous prestigious scientific organizations including, including the National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and American Society for Microbiology. He was also one of the first 38 people to be selected by Desmond Tutu as part of the "Hands That Shape Humanity" world exhibition. Dr. Venter's autobiography A Life Decoded was published in October of 2007. 19 Aug 2007 at 7:20pm 1 min - Aug 19, 2007 400 x 300 pixels - 7914204 150 sec mrl.nyu.edu <p>AVI Movies A National Geo-Graphics Society Special: The Undersea World of Jack Cousto AVI Movie ( Footage from Getty Images, Inc. www.gettyimages.com <p>of Behavior (Craig Reynolds): www.cs.ucla.edu <p>clips available from < p> ? www.amath.unc.edu <p>article on artificial fishes.

Evolutionary algorithms are a pump for turning CPU cycles into brain designs. With exponentially increasing CPU cycles while our understanding of intelligence is almost a flat-line, the evolutionary route to AI is a centerpiece of most Kurzweilian singularity scenarios. This talk introduces the Polyworld artificial life simulator as well as results from our ongoing attempt to evolve artificial intelligence and further the Singularity. Polyworld is the brain child of Apple Computer Distinguished Scientist Larry Yaeger, who remains the primary developer of Polyworld: http://www.beanblossom.in.us/larryy/Polyworld.html Speaker: Virgil Griffith Virgil Griffith is a first year graduate student in Computation and Neural Systems at the California Institute of Technology. On weekdays he studies evolution, computational neuroscience, and artificial life. He did computer security work until his first year of university when his work got him sued for sedition and espionage. He then decided that security was probably not safest field to be in and he turned his life to science. 3 min including virtual plants, textures, animations, 3D sculptures, and Behavioral Animation and Evolution of Behavior (Craig Reynolds): 13 May 2008 at 7:22am 3 min - May 13, 2008 DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) ? Genetics pioneer Craig Venter, who synthesized the complete DNA of a bacterium, didn't bring it to life, but he told The Associated Press on Friday he hopes that big step will happen in a matter of months. Venter said such a process could ultimately lead to creating a new type of climate-friendly fuel, but he cautioned that practical applications would be years away. The experiment, published online Thursday by the journal Science, is not a living germ, just its genetic structure, but Venter called it a big step forward in comparison to previous man-made life forms. Making that DNA strand essentially come alive, by inserting it in a cell, is next, Venter said in an interview with AP. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iq2AbhffbxdrMAVGVRYbdbd6IAsgD8UD4SRO2 18 Oct 2007 at 2:59pm 38 min - Oct 18, 2007 Jason Kelly discusses bioengineering, MIT's biological parts registry, and "wet" artificial life at Grey Thumb Boston on August 7th, 2007. 6 Sep 2006 at 8:00pm 10 sec - Sep 7, 2006 Latest Footage from Getty Images, Inc. 1 Apr 2008 at 10:20pm ![]() 3 min - Apr 2, 2008 Art.Life is a simulation of artificial-life in Microsoft XNA by Mentezero (http://www.mentezero.com/) 18 Jul 2007 at 11:45am 7 min - Jul 18, 2007 These are some of artificial life forms that we may be sending out to explorer space for us in years to come.

I don't know what I was thinking doing all this all this in just over two weeks on top of other classes, but I managed to get it done :) Feels like I've been working on it for months, though. Cinema 4D 9.6 was used to construct without the use of any third party plug-ins. Hopefully you can figure out what it's about, but if not, it's the constuction of an artificial cell and it's eventually failure due to an unexpected mutation (the screen is too small in the youtube version to see this). Produced entirely by myself, even the horrible ambient track :P 10 May 2007 at 3:00am 6 min - May 10, 2007 Joseph Nechvatal?s Computer Virus Project 2.0 follows along the same lines as previous viral works by Nechvatal in 1992 - works where an unpredictable progressive virus operates on a degradation/transformation of an image. Using a C++ framework, Joseph Nechvatal and his programmer/collaborator Stephane Sikora have brought Nechvatal?s early computer virus project into the realm of artificial life (A-Life) (i.e. into a synthetic system that exhibits behaviors characteristic of natural living systems). With Computer Virus Project 2.0, elements of artificial life have been introduced in that viruses are modeled to be autonomous agents living in/off the image. The project simulates a population of active viruses functioning as an analogy of a viral biological system. Here the host of the virus are the digital files on which the computer-robotic assisted paintings in this show are based. Among the different techniques used here are models that result from embodied artificial intelligence and the paradigm of genetic programming. 29 Oct 2007 at 6:41pm ![]() 7 min - Oct 29, 2007 Omni Trio - Artificial Life 13 Mar 2008 at 3:00am 2 min - Mar 13, 2008 For the first time a completely software driven device , in this case a Second Life avatar, passes an important test for a step closer to a kind of consciousness.<
