The preservation, archival, and study of cultural heritage is of the utmost importance at local, national, and international levels. Not only global organizations like UNESCO but also museums, libraries, cultural institutions, and private initiatives are working in these directions. During the last three decades, researchers in the field of imaging science have started to contribute a growing s...

We investigated whether low-level processed image properties that are shared by natural scenes and artworks - but not veridical face photographs - affect the perception of facial attractiveness and age. Specifically, we considered the slope of the radially averaged Fourier power spectrum in a log-log plot. This slope is a measure of the distribution of special frequency power in an image. Image...

Preservation of the artworks has historical and cultural importance. However, with time, environmental factors severely affect artworks, these damages are often complicated to repair manually through traditional methods. We propose a method restore artwork that been damaged over time. This work proposes systematic approach using paired image-to-image translation based on generative adversarial ...

The article explores the relationships between aesthetics, ethics, and new media art by discussing the process, influences, and consequences of aesthetic judgements. The text proposes that the aesthetic judgements of artworks created in any medium, including new media, function as mechanisms for propagating certain ethical values.

The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning of death metaphors seen by 133 undergraduate nursing students through open questionnaires and collage artworks, using qualitative content analysis in Korea. The 4 themes emerged: "rest-physical," "fear-psychological," "separating-social," and "new life-spiritual."

M.C. Escher illustrated his mathematical investigations of the constructive elements of this world in a form of two-dimensional drawings, which inspired many computer scientists to make computer reproductions and reconstructions. We introduce unusual higher-dimensional computer reconstructions to illustrate our research results in geometric modeling problems arising from analysis of Escher’s ar...

Ab str act. Based on the idea that interaction and communication between entities of a system are the driving forces behind the emergence of higher and more complex structures in life, we propose to apply principles of Complex System Theory to the creation of interactive, computer-generated and audience-participatory artworks and to test whether complexity within an artificial computer-generate...

Abstract This paper aims to define Bio-art by strengthening its artistic status through two distinct approaches. The first is based on the acceptance that concept of includes both term “art” and “bio” could stand for Biology, Biotechnology, Bioethics. It argued despite direct connection scientific research, only partly linked methods pure science while it stands closer technoscience Biotechnolo...

Semantic search engines aim at improving conventional search with semantic information, or metadata, on the data searched for and/or on the searchers. So far, approaches to semantic search exploit characteristics of the searchers like age, education, or spoken language for selecting and/or ranking search results. Such data allow to build up a semantic search engine as an extension of a conventi...
