a r t i c l e i n f o This paper describes an approach for automatically analyzing the alterations of an original artwork during its reproduction. The overall deformation of the artwork is modelled by a piecewise linear model, where regions of the artwork that feature similar alterations are automatically inferred and assigned to the different model components. Model complexity, that is, the re...

Pictures don't live in isolation from a context of comprehension and response. According to Gretchen Barbatsis, the notion that meaning is something added to a piece of art has important connotation in the way we conceptualize art. The dynamic understanding of visual interpretation is a mutual process, in which the artwork and the viewer add something to one another. Art conveys meanings, refle...

This study looks at interaction at a fundamental structural level, elucidating basic elements of how interaction works among adaptive organisms. This understanding then points to how to develop suitable interfaces for interaction among people and intelligent-adaptive-machines or artworks. I first consider how sensory processes derive from basic biological needs for energy, and that communicatio...

Changes in the style of professional artists as an immediate consequence of cerebrovascular disease are an intriguing phenomenon for the neuroscientist. While left-hemisphere damage is commonly provoking alterations in verbal production and comprehension, right-hemisphere stroke often leads to left-sided visuospatial neglect. We present a case series of 13 professional artists with right-hemisp...

We present a method for applying complex textures to hand-drawn characters in cel animation. The method correlates features in a simple, textured, 3-D model with features on a hand-drawn figure, and then distorts the model to conform to the hand-drawn artwork. The process uses two new algorithms: a silhouette detection scheme and a depth-preserving warp. The silhouette detection algorithm is si...
