Abstract This study aims to identify factors contributing price fluctuations in artworks after an artist’s death. With access information on seller characteristics from a historical dataset of all art auctions that took place London between 1741 and 1913, we investigate how trading patterns network effects at affect sales prices. Following death, capture dynamic find prices decline by 7%. We at...

In this paper we propose a framework for the development of artificial art critics, consisting of an architecture and a validation methodology. The architecture includes two modules: a feature extractor, which performs a pre-processing of the artwork, extracting several measurements and characteristics; and an evaluator, which, based on the output of the feature extractor, classifies the artwor...

This paper discusses the author’s artwork, Neuro Memento Mori, a self-portrait comprising digital animations and live action video projection-mapped onto a 3D print. The life-sized sculpture of the head and neck, dissected to reveal the artist’s brain, was produced from MRI data gathered as the artist viewed memento mori paintings and meditated on death. The production of the artwork, made with...

Interaction with one’s peers and the sharing of experience is a powerful means of generating meaning and creating lasting impression. This paper focuses upon the conceptual and practical development of a participatory artwork that utilises Augmented Reality technology. Using AR as the medium, the aim is to create a generative and interactive artwork that facilitates participation and viewer col...

A B S T R A C T The Garden of Chances is a computer-generated artwork which makes the link between the real world climate and a virtual garden of abstract colored shapes. When the artwork is functioning all day long and all year round, the spectator can see the evolution of the climate as the time passes by. The software has been developed as a simulation of a real ecosystem and it relies on mu...

The creation of an artwork requires motor activity. To what extent is art appreciation divorced from that activity and to what extent is it linked to it? That is the question which we set out to answer. We presented participants with pointillist-style paintings featuring discernible brushstrokes and asked them to rate their liking of each canvas when it was preceded by images priming a motor ac...

We describe an artist’s journey of working with an evolutionary algorithm to create an artwork suitable for exhibition in a gallery. Software based on the evolutionary algorithm produces animations which engage the viewer with a target image slowly emerging from a random collection of greyscale lines. The artwork consists of a grid of movies of eucalyptus tree targets. Each movie resolves with ...
