Electric Sheep
One of the most interresting screen savers ever. A distributed computation of colourful and shapeful IFS fractals by many computers connected to the Internet, which is then merged into a smooth animation on the central server and send back to the "sleeping" computers.
Each running Electic Sheep is a network client, which computes frames of the animated IFS fractal in idle CPU cycles, then uploads the finished images in JPEG to the central server. Some abortive images are sorted out and the others are merged into a MPEG animation, which is then downloaded back by the clients and displayed on the screen.
This way a "collective dream" of many computers is created. Some of the more interresting dreams can be also downloaded in higher quality or bought as a poster or DVD. |
