Had a great time attending online, and it was amazing to see our cultural evolution workshop come alive with so much in-person energy✨ Grateful to everyone who made it such a vibrant, inspiring experience🌟 Talks, flash talks & a generative game, plus shared insight from @alan-winfield.bsky.social💡
And - super interesting flash talks by Eleni Nisoti on evolving interaction protocols, Till Aust on perceiving the culture of machines, and @cnimasato.bsky.social on the sociality of artificial creativity!
Massive effort by the organising team, many who couldn't attend in person but who joined online (despite timezone differences): @khuludalharthi.bsky.social @dgarzonramos.com @sabinehauert.bsky.social @swarmdynamics.bsky.social @mchimento.bsky.social.
Special mention to @alan-winfield.bsky.social who couldn't be there in person, but shared some recorded thoughts with us on artificial creativity.
More thanks: to @ai4cihub.bsky.social for sponsoring the workshop and to @cbehav.bsky.social for their generous support.
Also, our first workshop on cultural evolution at #alife2025: thanks to invited speakers James Borg and @uchiyama.bsky.social for their talks in session 1! In session 2, we had an interactive generative game with some creative creatures and cultures emerging. Thanks to all who came along 👾🦠
