I’m trying to find the best way to get our different reading, critique, and interest groups going. So, I’ve set up a BuddyPress, which is a social networking system.
You can become a member, join groups, start your own blog, etc. I hope it will work, so check it out:

Hi everyone,
Thanks to all who have sent in proposals–keep them coming.
I just scanned the first readings for the different reading groups, and will be posting them soon. We’ll schedule times to meet in the next 2 weeks. I’ll also be scheduling the critique group soon.
I’ll send out an e-newsletter this week, once I’ve got all these things in order.
See you soon!
Joanna

Proposed by mark edward grimm
Genetic algorithms are a particular class of evolutionary algorithms (EA) that use techniques inspired by evolutionary biology such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover.
In this discussion/reading group, we will explore the texts of Gille Deleuze in attempt to understand how artists can better utilize concepts explored in contributed texts to the subject stemming from Deleuze’s thought concerning the genetic algorithm.
Materials needed: An internet connection and the ability to print related texts.
