This software owes its name to Philip K. Dick's novel
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. It realizes the
collective dream of sleeping computers from all over
the internet.
When the screen-saver is activated, the screen goes
black and an animated 'sheep' appears. Behind the
scenes, the screen-saver contacts a server and joins
the parallel computation of new sheep. Every fifteen
minutes 24/7 a new sheep is born and distributed to
all clients for display. Each sheep is an animated
fractal flame.
The Interpretation of Dreams contains an artistic,
conceptual, and technical explanation, or you can
watch the streaming video documentary....
