This workshop develops a group work-flow using the model of a simple genetic algorithm (SGA) with the result being an emergent work of music/sound art.

Previous presentations of the Gamer Theory networked book, produced by McKenzie Wark and the Institute for the Future of the Book, have concentrated on what went right with this project. But perhaps with the maturing of the whole field of networked books and like objects, its time to concentrate on what didn't work on this project and subsequent ones in which I was personally involved. It is not clear to me that there is a standard model for writing in networked environments, particularly for critical writing. But perhaps there are lessons to be drawn from failure.
