Recently, various non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) techniques have been developed for computers to generate images of different artistic styles automatically. Due to the complexity of the algorithms, however, most NPR methods are limited to the processing of still images. It is the objective of this paper to extend and improve existing NPR techniques to enable near realtime processing of vide...

The origin of this paper lies in the fundamental question of how complexity arose in the development of life and how one could construct an artistic interactive system that can model and simulate this emergence of complexity. Based on the idea that interaction and communication between entities of a system are the driving forces for the emergence of higher and more complex structures than its m...

The most recent advances of artificial life scientific research are opening up a new frontier: the creation of simulated life environments populated by autonomous agents. In these environments artificial beings can interact, reproduce and evolve [4, 6, 15], and can be seen as laboratories where to explore the emergence of social behaviors like competition, cooperation, relationships and communi...

In this outcomes study (N=40), changes in stress levels were compared across two participant conditions for a period of artistic activity with a cognitive focus on either a personally stressful or positive situation. Results indicated that participants in the positive-focus condition demonstrated a significant decrease in stress, whereas participants in the negative-focus condition demonstrated...

This paper describes a domain ontology which has been designed within the European art-E-fact project to represent the associated knowledge and to enable the description, exchange and sharing of multimedia addedvalue content for the creation of artistic expressions both within and between cultural institutions. Within the art-Efact project, authors access and retrieve all the content stored. Si...

This article investigates the development, purpose and value of co-creation in theatre. Through a qualitative analysis of a new work festival at West Yorkshire Playhouse, it explores the levers and barriers to participatory engagement and evaluates the phenomenon of co-creation from the comparative perspective of both producers and audiences of theatre.
