Iranian traditional architecture is one of the world's architectures par excellence. It was one of the most important architectures in the medieval Islamic world. Iranian architecture has developed over millennia in response to its religion. Many traditional and vernacular buildings in Iran show that the architects had been so clever in harmonizing the Iranian religion and architecture in the p...

This paper discusses the role of models in the development of an interactive artwork made as the result of interdisciplinary collaboration. A variety of different types of model were used, each with different functions and status to the team.

This paper describes the n-queens problem on an n × n chessboard. We discuss the possible symmetries of n-queens solutions and show how solutions to this classical chess question can be used to create examples of colorful artwork.

The level of integration has been rapidly increasing with advances in semiconductor technology. Many HP design groups have capitalized on this capability to create highly integrated ASICs, or superchips. Superchips that integrate conventional ASIC logic, microprocessors, embedded RAM and ROM, and other megacell functions save cost, power, board space, and inventory overhead and increase I/O per...

In this article, we proposed an exhibition style which shows visitors not only the artwork itself (i.e., art exhibit) but also information about its creative process (i.e., process exhibit), and examined the effect of this exhibition style. Thirteen pairs of participants were encouraged to talk freely while looking at the art exhibit (their conversations were recorded with ICrecorders), and wer...

We present ArtVis, an advanced user interface combining stateof-the-art visualisation techniques and tangible interaction to explore the Web Gallery of Art digital artwork collection consisting of almost 28 000 European artworks. The graphical ArtVis interface contains three separate visualisation panels that allow users to temporally, semantically and geographically investigate the digital art...

Josh Banks provided the cover art for the spring 2015 issue of The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy. The cover art is titled “Birthday Party” because the piece resembles images involved in a birthday party: multicolored balloons, napkins, cakes, and icing. Josh created the piece using oil crayons on watercolor paper. Josh is sensory seeking and has difficulty using various types of material...

This paper presents a framework for the indexing and retrieval of artwork 3D models, allowing global and partial model classification and retrieval. The first part of the paper deals with database classification based on global shape descriptors. A search engine “RETIN-3D”, using a SVM classifier coupled with an active learning strategy allows to retrieve categories of similar objects. In a sec...

Sliceform paper art is an art form where long strips of paper are cut, folded and slotted together to form intricate geometric configurations. We present a system that streamlines the design process for such artwork, which are conventionally highly time-consuming to assemble. Main features of the system include a powerful user interface for specification of custom pattern motifs and an algorith...
