ColorScheme
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Composed of colors sampled from Hollywood cinema, ColorScheme is a moving spectral painting that reveals how color is used in film to support the themes and mood of the narrative and to subconsciously encourage emotional ... -
Individual Realities: Customizing Aesthetics in Shared Immersive Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Immersive virtual reality systems such as CAVEs and head-mounted displays offer a unique shared environment for collaborations unavailable in the real world. Virtual environments not only provide users with novel interaction ... -
Flattening the Viewable Sphere
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The viewable sphere corresponds to the space that surrounds us. The evolution of photography and panoramic software and hardware has made it possible for anybody to capture the viewable sphere. It is now up to the artist ... -
The Bridge Project
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The aim of this project is to visually demonstrate a personal understanding of the evolution of the computer generated "image work" [Mat77], by means of a free associative process that utilises the search and query mechanisms ... -
memory [en]code Building a Collective Memory within a Tabletop Installation
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper, we introduce memory [en]code, a project that evolved through an art+science collaboration. memory [en]code is an interactive tabletop installation that visualizes different concepts of human memory in an ... -
Spiritual Art: Evoking the Numinous using a 3D Computer Game Engine
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The Seven Valleys is an interactive 3D installation based artwork inspired by mystical writings of the Bahá'í Faith. Created as a modification of the first-person shooter Unreal Tournament 2003 it subverts the original ... -
Extracting the Essence from Sets of Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We use a set of photographs showing similar scenes as a model for a single photograph this scene. A distance measure for this model is defined by correlating the neigborhoods of pixels in similar positions. A cross analysis ... -
Conceptualizing Birkhoff's Aesthetic Measure Using Shannon Entropy and Kolmogorov Complexity
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In 1928, George D. Birkhoff introduced the Aesthetic Measure, defined as the ratio between order and complexity, and, in 1965, Max Bense analyzed Birkhoff s measure from an information theory point of view. In this paper, ... -
A Case Study from the Point of View of Aesthetics: A Dialogue Between an Artist and a Computer Scientist
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Computational Aesthetics draws from both a long history of artistic expression and the possibilities that computational methods can provide. As such, its success depends on a dialogue between the arts world and computer ... -
Composition Principles for Quality Depiction and Aesthetics
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Composition is an important aspect of both traditional illustration practices and non-photorealistic rendering methods. Composition means combining drawing elements such as line, tone, texture, focus of attention and ... -
A Poetics of Simulation for Audiovisual Performance
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Audiovisual performance is a fertile area for creative expression, an intersection of experimental cinema and computer music that has seen a groundswell of interest in recent years. To create works in this emerging medium, ... -
Celtic Knots Colorization based on Color Harmony Principles
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper proposes two simple and powerful algorithms to automatically paint Celtic knots with aesthetic colors. The shape of the knot is generated from its dual graph as presented in [KC03]. The first technique uses rules ... -
An Efficient Perception-based Adaptive Color to Gray Transformation
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The visualization of color images in gray scale has high practical and theoretical importance. Neither the existing local, gradient based methods, nor the fast global techniques give a satisfying result. We present a new ... -
Magnetism and Minimal Surfaces -- a Different Tool for Surface Design
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The design of free form surfaces is usually based on NURBS and it works well to quickly get shapes that a designer intends to create. Such surfaces then have desired properties like given border lines and C1 or C2 continuity ... -
Aesthetics of Hand-Drawn vs. Computer-Generated Stippling
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Recent work in non-photorealistic rendering has produced results comparable to hand-drawn artistic images. Inspiration for such techniques has come from many traditional artistic techniques, such as pen-and-ink, to depict ... -
New Methods to Project Panoramas for Practical and Aesthetic Purposes
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Recent advances in digital photomontage have simplified the creation of extreme wide-angle views from a vantage point, including the recreation of the entire sphere (we will refer to these type of images as panoramas). In ... -
Theatre of Restless Automata
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Our enthusiasm for scientific modelling techniques and fascination with natural systems has inspired us to develop computational artworks over the last six years that explore the aesthetics of emergence, computational ... -
Perceptual Reparameterization of Material Properties
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The recent increase in both the range and the subtlety of computer graphics techniques has greatly expanded the possibilities for synthesizing images. In many cases, however, the relationship between the parameters of an ... -
Stipple Placement using Distance in a Weighted Graph
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We present a stipple placement method which provides extra emphasis to image features, especially edges. Our algorithm transforms an image into a regular graph, with edge weights given by the local gradient magnitude of ... -
Liquid Penetration Modeling for Cloth Dyeing
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper presents a model of cloth dyeing using the characteristics of the thread and weave pattern. The proposed dyeing model is based on Fick s second law that defines the molecular transfer under translational diffusion ...
