We present a novel framework for non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) based on view-dependent geometric simplification techniques. Following a common thread in NPR research, we represent the model as a system of particles, which will be rendered as strokes in the final image and which may optionally overlay a polygonal surface. Our primary contribution is the use of a hierarchical view-dependent ...

The paper discusses Jeddah, an interactive artwork that experiments with the relation between cursor and background art. In addition to being functional, the cursor is also cast as an element of artistic expression. It is exaggerated in shape, scale, color and motion to blend in with the background art, and is constantly transforming in response to the art world. This is done to enhance the moo...

We present a system using semi-autonomous agents to help artists express ideas. Agents control their representation on a canvas via interactions in agent space. They are given rules, which include the ability to form, join, leave and dissolve coalitions. While individually, agents constitute only small parts of the composition, together they form more and more complex parts until the full pictu...

With the evolution of intelligent devices, sensors, and ambient intelligent systems, it is not surprising to see many research projects starting to explore the design of intelligent artifacts in the area of art and technology; these projects take the form of art exhibits, interactive performances, and multi-media installations. In this paper, we seek to propose a new architecture for an ambient...

This paper reviews the case that Bangladeshi artist Ahmed Kabir Kishore was arrested for publishing caricatures. Based on case, it analyses explicitly human rights of freedom expression and sorts out political ethical difficulties contemporary artists' expression. hopes to provide theoretical norms realistic approaches protecting by returning artistic expression's essence analyzing its legal lo...

Stippling is an artistic rendering technique where shading and texture is given by placing points or stipples on the canvas until the desired darkness is achieved. Computergenerated stippling has focused on producing high quality 2D renditions for print media, while stippling of 3D models in animations has received little attention. After describing current advances in stippling for print media...

There has been an ongoing effort to turn mobile phones into generic platforms or musical expression. By generic we mean useable in a wide range of expressive settings, where the enabling technology has minimal influence on the core artistic expression itself. We describe what has been achieved so far and outline a number of open challenges.

UNLABELLED This paper reviews the central concepts and implementation of data structures and methods for studying genetics of gene expression with the GGtools package of Bioconductor. Illustration with a HapMap+expression dataset is provided. AVAILABILITY Package GGtools is part of Bioconductor 1.9 (http://bioconductor.org). Open source with Artistic License.

This paper presents the design and implementation of artistic effects in modelling and rendering of volume datasets. Following different stages of a volume-based graphics pipeline, we examine various properties of volume data, and illustrate how expressive and non-photorealistic effects can be implemented. We demonstrate that the true 3D nature of volume data makes it particularly applicable fo...
