  * Karl Sims is widely reguarded as one of the pioneers in the field of genetic graphics, and evolving simulated creatures http://www.genarts.com/karl/ and influenced the digital biology project http://www.biota.org

  * Kenneth Rinaldo has created (set in motion) some excellent examples of emergence, lifelike chittering in what he refers to as the "confluence and coevolution of organic and technological cultures" http://www.ylem.org/artists/krinaldo/index.html
  * Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau have worked on many plant-based digital art works http://www.mic.atr.co.jp/~christa/WORKS/index.html 
  * Mitchell Whitelaw completed a PhD thesis entitled "artificial life in new media art." a study of artists working in (so-called) new media who are using techniques and concepts from the field of artificial life. This has been subsequently developed in to 'Metacreation' published by MIT press
