Fractal graphic as digital objectless art

Digital Art and Crowd Creation in Iran (Case Study: Tehran Annual Digital Art Exhibition)

This paper aims to show the status of digital art in Iran and explain how the meaning of an artist has transformed in the digital age. The primary assumption of this paper is that the experience of digital art has again revived the collective experience in creating arts. Although, interactivity is considered to be the most important quality of digital art, their collective, collaborative and pr...

Art Spiegelman's Maus: Graphic Art and the Holocaust

I n presenting a "Special Award" to Art Spiegelman's Maus in 1992, the Pulitzer Prize committee decided to finesse the issue of genre. The members were apparently befuddled by a project whose merit hey could not deny but whose medium they could not quite categorize. The obvious rubric (Biography) seemed ill-suited for a comic book in an age when ever-larger tomes and ever-denser scholarship def...

Fractal Art Generation using GPUs

Fractal image generation algorithms exhibit extreme parallelizability. Using graphics processing units (GPUs) to implement parallel escape-time algorithms for Julia sets of functions, we produce visually attractive fractal images much faster than traditional serial methods. Vastly improved speeds allow real-time generation and display of images. A comparison is made between sequential and paral...

Fractal Digital Image Inpainting

Abstract The image inpainting is an important problem image processing. It is a difficult problem to recover an image with bigger hole, and the existing algorithms are not give good method. Based on fractal theory, in this paper, we present a new inpainting method, which using the total info of image effectively. The relation of fractal dimension and the size range block is discussed, and give ...
