What is this?

The Artificial Life Newsletter collects news about research, projects, events and media that are of interest to the Alife community.

We publish a new edition roughly every two months, and distribute it in this website, as well as by e-mail to subscribers.

In July, 2022, the newsletter received the Exceptional Service Award by the International Society of Artificial Life (ISAL). Thank you!

I want to share my work in the Newsletter!

If you have an idea for something that should be in the next newsletter, please let us know through this form! Contributions from students and young researchers are particularly welcome.

You can also contact us on:

• github
• Mastodon
• Blue Sky
and
• Twitter

The Alife Newsletter welcomes anything that might be interesting to Alifers: Programs, Papers, Experiments, Videos, Art, Events, Opinions, Book Reviews, etc. Surprise us!

If you want to send a fully formed contribution, it would be great if it was formatted in Markdown, and under 500 words. Lots of images and links are welcome! Think bulletin board, not magazine. Check the github link above for examples.

Who makes this newsletter anyway?

This Newsletter is organized by volunteer editors. The current editorial body is Lana, Imy, Mitsuyoshi, Claus, and Katt.
