Artificial Life artworks hold a unique place in the art world, one that has been largely mapped by the VIDA international competition through its annual recognition of outstanding works based on A-Life. Works that have received awards since the VIDA competition began in 1999 (25 prize-winning artworks and 56 honorary mentions) have gained viewer appreciation and popularity at the same level as any other kind of art. Yet these works define a territory of their own, delineated here through characteristics of A-Life art that arise from both the artist's studio and the research lab and that mark the 25 awarded artworks. Following this article, the Leonardo VIDA Gallery presents a selection of eight prize-winning works that show the breadth of the competition to date; each is discussed here
Aesthetics · Art · Art history · Competition (biology) · Performance art · Political science · Popularity · Selection (genetic algorithm) · Studio · Visual arts · Artificial Intelligence · Chaos, Complexity, and Education · Computer Science · Earth Systems and Cosmic Evolution · Law · Space Science and Extraterrestrial Life
