      ab: Part of a special issue on anthropology and/in/of science. The writer discusses his experience of conducting ethnographic work among Artificial Life scientists at the Santa Fe Institute for the Sciences of Complexity in New Mexico—an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to computer modeling in fields ranging from physics to biology. He contends that Artificial Life is a good thinking tool in considering the multiple meanings of “culture” in science. He found that these engineers of imaginary worlds believed that both Artificial Life and cultural anthropology investigated worlds made of and on ideas.
