Techniques in computer art

The major techniques in computer art in use so far are classified into six categories and evaluated. Among these categories, we discuss the function method in detail by showing pictures generated by our system ART-3, a small system based on the function method. By this means we show the usefulness of mathematics in this area and demonstrate the enormous possibilities of computer art. Furthermore, on the basis of our experience of using ART-3 the role of artists in technology-aided art is briefly discussed.     

Systemised serendipity for producing computer art

Serendipity applied to Newton's method, and its derivative the Secant Method, produces unusual and beautiful fractal patterns. Serendipity may be systemised, for example, by the introduction of a perturbation parameter P1, [1] to facilitate searches for interesting pattern variations.     

The computer — a new tool for visual art

The article points out some new possibilities for using computers as an instrument for visual art, especially stressing the mathematical method of picture synthesis. It is illustrated with results of recent computer art by Herbert W. Franke and Horst Helbig.

Can you make a computer understand and produce art?

Although artificial intelligence techniques have been successfully applied to reproduce many rational features of human behaviour, a great barrier has been encountered in simulating human activities where intuition and emotion are involved. Art making and viewing are processes where typically rational and mechanical aspects interact with aesthetic and cognitive criteria. Can you make a computer understand and autonomously produce art? The main purpose of this paper is to present the most relevant approaches in the study of art perception and creation via computer, focusing on the results achieved in artistic computer graphics.

Information fusion for computer security: State of the art and open issues

In this paper, we critically review the issue of information fusion for computer security, both in terms of problem formulation and in terms of state-of-the-art solutions. We also analyze main strengths and weaknesses of currently used approaches and propose some research issues that should be investigated in the future.     

Big data public art design based on multi core processor and computer vision

The amount of data in many large departments is also very large, so the public sector will get some data from these places to explore its value. There are more people in the public sector and more daily activities, so it is more convenient to collect data. Starting from the field of advanced analysis, we can improve the effectiveness of the system and expand the internal transparency. If we start from the perspective of improving the efficiency of personalized service, we can better help people provide services and welfare. Of course, you can also start with the performance programmable gate array of services. There are also many factors in the society that can have a corresponding impact on big data. We should consider these factors. Whether they are favorable or unfavorable, they will have an unpredictable impact on the development of big data. After considering these factors, we will need to show and analyze the conditions, consider what technology to develop, and consider what kind of development solutions and solutions should be built to better complete our research. If our research field is relatively small, we can also expand our research field. Especially in the analysis of data and application of these aspects, because the research has been more thorough, so in order to obtain new research results, we must take the edge. In addition to the issues that must be considered, we also need to consider the sources of data and the integration system of data, as well as how to obtain data from the public sector. Due to the privacy protection of many public sector data, many sensitive data can not be directly obtained, need to be affirmed by the upper level, and we also need to ensure the security of the data obtained.     

New frontiers for information systems research: computer art as an information system

This paper proposes extending the frontiers of information systems (IS) research by seeing computer art as a kind of information system. It explores some research questions that arise if we take such a view. A new agenda for IS research is developed, based upon six themes in computer art and related work in previous IS research. The link between IS and computer art is bi-directional: our theories of information systems could inform the study of computer art, and computer art could inform our information systems theories, possibly leading to modification or even abandonment of them. Twelve research questions are suggested, and potential barriers to IS researchers studying computer art are also discussed. The paper offers possibilities, not solutions, and makes an important contribution by suggesting new opportunities for innovative research in IS and by signposting some of the topics which could be addressed.     

Digital art: when artistic and cultural muse merges with computer technology.

Digital artifacts or "artistic applications" as they are usually called, aim at displaying information content by materializing concepts in a digital format. In this article the author explains about the concepts and definitions behind digital art and the technological issues related to artistic and cultural heritage applications. Artistic creation begins with a concept or an abstract idea, which is gradually modeled into a form of tangible or intangible digital content that can be both the means and the end product. Digital artists consider computer technology as a way to enhance creativity and as a final artifact. The dual manifestation of artistic and cultural heritage applications results in workflow that differs for each application class. Application constraints identification is one of the most important but often undervalued issues in digital art creation. Displacement is an interactive installation applying augmented reality technology.     

The computer as a laboratory instrument: Experiments for a third-year laboratory in Electrical Engineering

This paper describes a series of three experiments developed for the Junior laboratory course required of all Cornell Electrical Engineering undergraduates. These experiments are designed to illustrate the use of small computers as laboratory equipment directly interfaced with electronic experiments.     

Why zombies cannot write significant source code: The Knowledge Game and the art of computer programming

This article analyses the knowledge needed to understand a computer program within the philosophy of information. L. Floridi's method of levels of abstraction is applied to the relation between an ideal programmer and a modern computer seen together as an informational organism. The results obtained by the mental experiment known as the Knowledge Game are applied to this relation, so to explain what a programmer should know in order to program a modern computer. In particular, this analysis clearly shows why non-conscious agents have no hopes to write significant programs. Two main objections are then presented and attacked by corresponding counterobjections.     

Teaching computer music in a computer setting

Using a computer to produce sound in the classroom is not new and has been used for ear training and drill-and-practice for some time. Computer music can also provide computer students with an alternative means to explore traditional computer concepts: modular design, functional decomposition, and iterative development. Combining these uses for computer music would produce a course where both computer students and music students could gain an insight to the use of system development techniques. Such a course is described in this paper along with notes on how this course was implemented.
