Electric Sheep is a great platform for digital artists to share their work! However, although we may be familiar with digital art in the print form, Electric Sheep takes digital and turns them into "sheep": abstract animations from artwork that is submitted.
Scott Draves, software artist and founder of Electric Sheep describes his "sheep" as artificial life. In his portfolio, Draves describes it as "...it is software that recreates the biological phenomena of evolution and reproduction though mathematics. The system is made up of man and machine, a cyborg mind with 450,000 participant computers and people all over the Internet."
Draves uses his "Flame Algorithm", which he created in 1992, to merge submitted digital artwork together. This is what takes the still images and creates them into animations.
