When meme meets gene: Mindflux, mutagen and the virtual replicators

Mindflux is a collective of electronic artists based in Adelaide, an 'amorphous blob' comprising several (de)central conspirators and a network of cohorts from around the world. Dedicated to exploring the dependency loops of virtual/actual, stasis/evolution, human/machine, the group assemble interactive spaces that are, according to artist and programmer Nik Gaffney, 'a primeval soup of possible memes'. Cross-fertilising the mutant streams of evolutionary biology, chaos theory and electronic art in a 'nomadic' fashion, Mindflux write themselves into the space between the virtual and the (virtually receding) actual.
