@agileroundabout tried to register on Eventbrite for today's roundabout but registration is closed, can I still join if I have signed up on Meetup and have ID with me?

There are currently two flies in the room fruitlessly trying to find the (wide open) window. Their exploration & exploitation game is sub-par. #naturalCamp

Particle Swarm Optimisation is a prime example of why creative computing matters: Make pretty visuals inspired by flocks of birds and and you might end up inspiring a whole generation of people to study nature to solve problems that matter! #naturalCamp

Evolution is fueled by randomness: start with a pile of coal, make some small, random changes to each piece, repeat until you end up with diamond. Good or bad, strong or weak, everyone plays an important role in evolution. Celebrate (genetic) diversity! #naturalCamp

Studying Genetic Algorithms can give us an unexpectedly relevant insight on the process of evolution itself, as well as how much the environment can guide and shape the organisms inside it. #naturalCamp

Tonight, the (sonic) swarm will be unleashed for the very first time. Let's just hope we can get it all back into the box afterwards. #naturalCamp nitter.gq/goldcomputing/status/9…

First rehearsal with the full swarmchestra. A sneak peak behind the curtains of our first multi-channel piece, multipleAgents. #naturalCamp

Making Art with Swarm Intelligence is about rethinking what a "problem" is. Make up your own rules, enforce them, break them. #naturalCamp

The interactions of flies in a swarm points to a central idea in music: Dispersion and convergence -> tension and release #naturalCamp

Turns out that algorithms, like humans, can only be jacks of all trades or masters of one, not both. Free lunch's not a thing #naturalCamp
