I promised during Thursday's talk that I would provide a resource list for the things that I talked about. Here goes:

 Here are the artists that I mentioned in the beginning of the talk:

• Manfred Mohr
• Jean-Pierre Hebert
• Roman Verostko
• Casey Reas
• Ben Fry
• Lia
• Golan Levin
• Marius Watz
• Alison Mealey
• Jared Tarbell
• Robert Hodgin

This is my Canvas Class, which I demoed briefly.

Here is a thread in the processing forums which has a pile of links and resources about Neural Networks. It's an excellent place to start if you'd like to learn more.

This is an excellent mini-course on Genetic Algorithms, complete with Java Applets to demonstrate how it all works

I mentioned the book 'How Brains Think', by William Calvin, which is a very good read attempting to explain how conciousness might arise. Most interesting is his theory that there are thousands of micro-evolutionary processes happening in your brain at any given time. 

Here is the first version of DarwInstruments. Source code is here.
