In this study artistic human-robot interaction design is introduced as a means for scientific research and artistic investigations. It serves as a methodology for situated cognition integrating empirical methodology and computational modeling, and is exemplified by the installation playing robot. Its artistic purpose is to aid to create and explore robots as a new medium for art and entertainme...

This paper presents challenges in the design, development and dissemination of electronic and digital musical instruments as they were identified within a newly established interdisciplinary research project. These challenges, covering a range of theoretical, artistic and practical perspectives, fall into the categories Embracing Technology, Musicology-informed Design, Researching and Integrati...

In Artistic design education, the teacher instructs each student individually face to face. As a result, it is difficult to share coaching with a third party or to teach distantly. To solve these problems, we have developed Manga University, which is a web-based application to aid artistic design education. It enables distant teaching or shared teaching and provides learning portfolio for colla...

Convolutional Neural Networks and Graphics Processing Units have been at the core of a paradigm shift in computer vision research that some researchers have called “the algorithmic perception revolution.” This thesis presents the implementation and analysis of several techniques for performing artistic style transfer using a Convolutional Neural Network architecture trained for large-scale imag...

Art is an expression of neurological function and how it organizes and interprets perception. Recent reports of changes in art performance among patients with frontotemporal dementia have provided an unexpected window to the neurology of art. They confirm that visual art is predominantly in the right hemisphere and suggest a neuroanatomical schema for artistic creativity. The right parietal reg...

ARHA110 Introduction to Western Art: Renaissance to Modern This course surveys the development of Western art from the Renaissance through the modern period. We will examine art's changing status within specific social and artistic contexts: from the Church and court of the Renaissance, through the formation of art academies in the late 16th century, to the development of an increasingly indivi...

This chapter explores algorithms for the artistic stylisation (transformation) of photographs into digital artwork, complementing techniques discussed so far in this book that focus on image generation. Most artistic stylisation algorithms operate by placing atomic rendering primitives “strokes” on a virtual canvas, guided by automated artistic heuristics. In many cases the stroke placement pro...

We consider sequential and concurrent probabilistic processes and propose a general notion of fairness with respect to probabilistic choice, which allows to express various notions of fairness such as process fairness and event fairness. We show the soundness of proving the validity of qualitative properties of probabilistic processes under fairness constraints in the sense that whenever all fa...
