    • Artistic Canvases for Gestural and Non-linear Typography 

      Kirton, Travis (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      This paper presents an exploration of gestural and non-linear typography through the production of two software applications, TextDraw and TypeIs. Both were created through a media-art-research practice, wherein extended ...

    • gamutHeatMap: Visualizing the Colour Shift of Rendering Intent Transformations 

      Gat, Christopher; Zhang, Hanyu; German, Daniel M.; Tory, Melanie (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      When a photograph is printed, its original colours are converted to those of the output medium using a rendering intent transformation. This process takes into consideration the colour properties of the paper and the printer ...

    • Double Meandering Algorithm: From Drawing Game to Automated Animation 

      Gao, Shelley; Pullen, Lucy; Gooch, Amy A. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      We introduce artist Lucy Pullen's Double Meandering Algorithm, first in its original form as a pen-and-paper drawing algorithm and then as a procedurally generated animation. We utilize a chain of cubic Bézier curves to ...

    • Performing Animator Instrument for Live Media 

      Dulic, A.; Newby, K. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      In this paper we discuss the design of Performing Animator, an expressive instrument for live media, we developed in support of our situated interdisciplinary performance practice. The concept of a cinema of braided processes ...

    • Simple Motion Textures for Ambient Affect 

      Lockyer, M.; Bartram, L.; Riecke, B. E. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      The communication of emotion and the creation of affect are core to creating immersive and engaging experiences, such as those in performance, games and simulation. They often rely on atmospheric cues that influence how ...

    • Aesthetic Agents: Swarm-based Non-photorealistic Rendering using Multiple Images 

      Love, J.; Pasquier, P.; Wyvill, B.; S.Gibson,; Tzanetakis, G. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      The creation of expressive styles for digital art is one of the primary goals in non-photorealistic rendering. In this paper, we introduce a swarm-based multi-agent system that is capable of producing expressive imagery ...

    • Symmetry Hybrids 

      Cullen, B.; O'Sullivan, C. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      How we perceive the world is strongly governed by symmetry. Symmetry presents itself in both natural and manmade structures giving aesthetic appeal to the world. This paper presents an approach to form intuitive tree based ...

    • Building The Plotter - an Aesthetic Exploration with Drawing Robots 

      Wanner, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      This paper presents the drawing robot The Plotter and an exploratory preliminary study with other drawing robots. Around notions of authorship, control and Eigensinn , the paper describes these artworks and situates ...

    • Generating Op Art Lines 

      Inglis, Tiffany C.; Kaplan, Craig S. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      A common technique in Op Art is the use of parallel lines to depict simple shapes such as circles and squares. Some artists have attempted to create more complex images using this technique but faced the problem of producing ...

    • Images from Self-Occlusion 

      Alexa, Marc; Matusik, Wojciech (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      We propose a complete system for designing, simulating, and fabricating surfaces with shading due to selfocclusion that induce desired input images. Our work is based on a simple observation. Consider a cylindrical hole ...

    • Sympathetic Guitar: Humans Respond Socially to Interactive Technology in an Abstract, Expressive Context 

      Vidyarthi, J.; Riecke, B.E.; Antle, A.N. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      There seems to be an inherent sociality of computers which is somehow related to their interactivity. However, existing research on this topic is limited to direct interaction, semantic information, clear goals and the ...

    • Surface Covering Curves 

      Xing, Q.; Akleman, Ergun; Taubin, Gabriel; Chen, J. (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      In this work, we present the concept of surface covering curves that can be used to construct wire sculptures or surface textures. We show that any mesh surface can be converted to a single closed 3D curve that follows the ...

    • Accurate and Discernible Photocollages 

      Miller, Jordan; Mould, David (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      We propose a system for arranging images from a database into a collage that resembles some target image. These collages exploit large scale visual correspondences between the target image and the images in the database. ...

    • Duotone Surfaces 

      Garigipati, Pradeep; Akleman, Ergun (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      In this paper, we present a method to divide any given surface into two regions with two properties: (1) they are visually interlocked since the boundary curve covers the whole surface by meandering over it and (2) the ...

    • Exploring the Effect of Color Palette in Painterly Rendered Character Sequences 

      Seifi, Hasti; DiPaola, S.; Enns, J. T. (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      In this paper we explore the consequences of different color palettes on the user's experience of emotion as conveyed by facial expression. Artists have used colors and painting techniques to convey emotions in their ...

    • Determining an Aesthetic Inscribed Curve 

      Wyvill, Brian; Kry, P. G.; Seidel, R.; Mould, D. (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      In this work we propose both implicit and parametric curves to represent aesthetic curves inscribed within Voronoi cells in R2. A user survey was conducted to determine, which class of curves are generally accepted as the ...

    • Developing a System of Screen-less Animation for Experiments in Perception of Movement 

      MacGillivray, Carol; Mathez, B.; Leymarie, F. Fol (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Experiments that test perceptual illusions and movement perception have relied predominantly on observing participant response to screen-based phenomena. There are a number of inherent problems to this experimental method ...

    • Random Discrete Colour Sampling 

      Lieng, Henrik; Richardt, Christian; Dodgson, Neil A. (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Apparently-random distributions of colours in a discrete setting have been used by many artists and craftsmen in the past century. Manual colourisation is a tedious and difficult process. Automatic colourisation, on the ...

    • Evaluating Visual Aesthetics in Photographic Portraiture 

      Khan, Shehroz S.; Vogel, Daniel (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      We propose and demonstrate a strategy to quantify aesthetic quality in photographs. Our approach is to develop a small set of classification features by tuning general compositional principles to a targeted image domain ...

    • The aMotion Toolkit: Painting with Affective Motion Textures 

      Lockyer, Matt; Bartram, Lyn (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Visual artists and designers frequently use carefully crafted motion textures patterns of ambient motion throughout a scene to imbue the atmosphere with affect. The design of such ambient visual cues is an elusive topic ...
