Swarm intelligence deals with the study of collectively intelligent behavior that emerges from a decentralized system of non-intelligent individual agents. The concept is widely used in the fields of simulation, optimization or robotics, but less known in the domain of generative art. This paper presents the swarm paradigm in the context of artistic creation, and more particularly explores the ...

the industrial design is a two or three-dimensional aesthetic creation related to industrial products. according to the definition of the iranian law, for the realization of the legal protection of industrial designs there are three necessary components: combine lines or colors, runs on industrial products and change product appearance. in iran, only the registered designs are supported. while ...

A novel approach to the creation of assemblages of three-dimensional digital objects is presented and explored. The proposed evolutionary art approach allows the evolution of the distribution of 3D objects, which are placed on a virtual canvas, constructing a non-photorealistic transformation of a source image. The approach is thoroughly described, giving particular emphasis to the interaction ...

ABSTRACT This paper provides a report of a research effort to transform architectural and scenographic surfaces into sound sources and use them in artistic creation. Structure-borne sound drivers are employed to induce sound into the solid surfaces, making them vibrate and emit sound. The sound waves can be perceived both via the aural (airborne diffusion) as well as the tactile (structure-born...

We present an original approach of virtual sculpting incarnated in a unified space-time interactive modeler named Splimo (for Spline Modeler), which is specifically designed for the creation of tubular spline works. Oriented towards artistic creation, it allows the realization of virtual transcriptions of real art pieces, as well as the creation of animated virtual sculptures, presented in an e...
