Funders were looking for applicants who expressed an established understanding of the challenges and strengths in their community, demonstrated leadership, and expressed a vision that indicated an open-minded approach to developing a smart space.
They represent nearly every region in the United States, but all have a few things in common. The libraries were chosen from a pool of over 100 applicants and represent communities as small as 1,000 residents and as large as 21,000. Participating libraries will receive $5,000 toward their space redesigns. Led by a project team of WebJunction, a program of OCLC Research, the project is funded by a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in partnership with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL). The project will lead participating libraries through four stages of training, help them to develop an online cohort, and connect their work to the profession at large. It certainly deserves a place in university libraries." (Jeroen Eggermont, Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, Vol.Starting in 2017, 15 small and rural public libraries from across the United States will participate in the Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces project, an 18-month training program aimed at reimagining and reconfiguring libraries to support active learning, foster social connections, and be places of continued discovery. For people already active in evolutionary art and music, or who want to start working in it, I would certainly recommend this book. … It is intended for a wide readership, ranging from researchers to artists …. "The editors’ objective was to create a handbook for evolutionary art and music by providing extensive coverage of existing work, giving enough background information for newcomers to get started and to provide possible direction for research. Duben, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2008) The ideas, examples, and writing are of uniformly high quality." (Anthony J. "The book is a compilation of papers and essays by computer scientists, psychologists, practicing artists, designers, and musicians who have applied the theory and techniques of evolutionary computation to the visual arts, design, and music. … the book is accessible to technically competent artists and musicians, but also to artificial life researchers who may have an interest in how familiar techniques can be applied in creative settings." (Alice Eldridge, Artificial Life, Vol.
"This book presents an overview of the state of the art in EMA as it gains maturity as a research discipline and artistic practice.
Serious practitioners will want this volume in their collections." (Journal of Mathematics and the Arts, Vol. It grants a sense of the breadth of the field and also permits readers to evaluate their personal potential and preparedness to become evolutionary artists. Anyone interested in evolved art should peruse this tome. I enjoyed reading the book, finding it both educational and thought-provoking. While reading it I compiled notes for five possible projects derived from (and often fusing) the techniques presented. "A great strength of this collection is its inspirational potential.
