Swarm Tech-tiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an exploration of visual and sonic texture. These textures are linked by a swarm of “tech-tiles”, where each tech-tile is a rectangular element of an image or a sequence of audio samples. An entire image can be converted to a single tech-tile, which can be performed as a composition, or a swarm of small tiles can fly over the image, generating a sonic improvisation. In each case, spatial (visual) structure is mapped into temporal (sonic) structure. The construction of a tech-tile from an image file or a sound clip and the swarm/attractor dynamics is explained in some detail. A number of experiments report on the sonic textures derived from various images.

A Sound You Can Touch
This paper describes the on going tech-tile project: an exploration of visual and sonic texture enabled by a mapping of textile images into sound and virtual patterns. This is performed live and ‘translated’ into new forms of material research through the jacquard process, itself a functioning conceptual machine within the analogous mechanism of the loom. The version of Swarm Tech-Tiles present...

متن کاملBallistic Performance of Hybrid Armor with Ceramic Inserts and Polymeric Matrix for Different Threat Levels (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Ceramic materials due to their high compressive strength and hardness have been one of prime candidates in armor design in particular when high level threads (impact velocity above 600m/s) are involved. The aim of this work is to investigate ballistic impact resistance potential for a target plate with novel ceramic inserts as against ceramic tiles. Two size 98% alumina (AL2O3) base ceramic i...
متن کاملShape Factor’s Effect on a Dynamic Cleaners Swarm
This work discusses an impossibility result for the Dynamic Cooperative Cleaners problem, and the relation of a specific geometric feature of the problem, known as the shape factor, to the efficiency of the operating swarm. The dynamic cooperative cleaners problem assumes a grid, having “contamination” points or tiles that form a connected region of the grid. Several agents move in this contami...
متن کاملAdaptive Rule-Base Influence Function Mechanism for Cultural Algorithm
This study proposes a modified version of cultural algorithms (CAs) which benefits from rule-based system for influence function. This rule-based system selects and applies the suitable knowledge source according to the distribution of the solutions. This is important to use appropriate influence function to apply to a specific individual, regarding to its role in the search process. This rule ...
