Data-Based Art, Algorithmic Poetry

Generative sound Art as Poeitic Poetry for an Information Society

Recent conversation in both the sonic and generative art communities envision a practice which engages with both formal and cultural or conceptual concerns. At the same time there is a sense amongst practitioners in the generative arts community that there is room to develop the methods of the practice. This paper sketches a simple, practical approach to generative sound art which draws from ph...

Aliasing Artifacts and Accidental Algorithmic Art

While developing a program to render Voronoi diagrams, I accidentally produced a strange and surprising image. The unexpected behaviour turned out to be caused by a combination of reasons from signal processing and computer architecture. I describe the process that led to the pattern, explain its structure, and display many of the wonderful designs that can be produced from this and related tec...

The art of pedigree drawing: algorithmic aspects

MOTIVATION Giving a meaningful representation of a pedigree is not obvious when it includes consanguinity loops, individuals with multiple mates or several related families. RESULTS We show that finding a perfectly meaningful representation of a pedigree is equivalent to the interval graph sandwich problem and we propose an algorithm for drawing pedigrees.

My Parade of Algorithmic Mathematical Art

Animations are discussed for a range of geometric dissections. These include a variety of twist-hinged dissections, some swing-hinged dissections, dissections of squares and cubes corresponding to a certain integer identities, folding dissections of multi-level regular polygons, and folding dissections of multi-level polyominoes. Artistic issues pertaining to these dissections and animations ar...
