Do People Prefer Irrational Ratios? A New Look at the Golden Section

The Golden Section is proposed to be the preferred ratio in many domains. Starting with Fechner, there were several empirical studies concerning the preference of the Golden Section with inconclusive results. Our main concern is that the Golden Section can neither perceived no produced exactly since it is an irrational number. Therefore, we propose to give a closer look to preferences for ratio...

We supposed that equilibrated stimuli might be appreciated as much as symmetric stimuli. We further wanted ...

Quantifying beauty: an information system for evaluating universal aesthetics

In this paper we propose that a metaphor can be used to represent domains that are not easily quantifiable and thus can be used to communicate information about those domains between the human and the computer at a cognitive and visual level. We propose a model which uses the metaphor of a human face as an interface for the perception and evaluation of universal aesthetics. 1. The problem It is...
