In this paper, a full-color photovoltaic (PV) module, called the artist PV module, is developed by laser processes. A full-color image source is printed on the back of a protective glass using an inkjet printer, and a brightened grayscale mask is used to precisely define regions on the module where colors need to be revealed. Artist PV modules with 1.1 ˆ 1.4 m2 area have high a retaining power ...

We present a novel approach in categorizing artists into subjective categories such as genre. We base our method on co-occurrences on the web, found with the Google search engine. A direct mapping between artists and categories proved to be unreliable. We use the categories mapped to closely related artists to obtain a more reliable mapping. The method is tested on a genre classification test s...

Current work in author identification is primarily directed towards music classification. Identification of artists by analyzing features of their work has recently gained interest. As a multiclass classification problem, potentially applicable machine learning approaches to the problem are numerous. We propose to extend present work in this area, which uses Naïve Bayes classifiers and multi-cl...

Creating interactive digital artworks involves the construction of complex computer systems. Artists working in this area have a choice of acquiring personal technical expertise or forming collaborative arrangements with technologists. Collaboration involves multi-disciplinary teamwork and this has implications for the creative process. Co-creativity in digital art has several dimensions: inter...

Microblogging services, such as Twitter, have risen enormously in popularity during the past years. Despite their popularity, such services have never been analyzed for MIR purposes, to the best of our knowledge. We hence present first investigations of the usability of music artist-related microblogging posts to perform artist labeling and similarity estimation tasks. To this end, we look into...

T he Spanish painter Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was the most important artist of the 20th century. It is impossible to consider the development of modern art without him. A unique, highly productive artist who created more than 20000 works in more than 75 years of activity, Picasso was the most frequently exhibited and critiqued artist of the last century. Best known as a painter, he also worked...

This paper reports on a prototype providing a simple yet efficient interface to navigate through networks of music artists. Built upon data gathered from Last.fm, it provides two simultaneous layers of information: (i) a graph built from artist similarity data, and (ii) overlaid labels containing user-defined tags. Differing from existing artist network visualization tools, the proposed prototy...

The paper considers the genealogical aspect of creative biography Polish pianist and composer Maria Szymanowska. Through reference to history Shore’sfamily, preconditions for formation artist’s worldview, degree heredity her worldview identity dimensions artist were analyzed. study comparison Polish, Ukrainian Jewish sources (P. Macheyko, I. Yezerska, A. Vernitska, others) allowed separate line...

In this invited paper, we are going to present an ongoing collaboration with a local artist, Aurélie Mourier. The artist works with voxel shapes and this led our digital geometry team to develop new shape modeling tools and explore a particular class of unfolding problems.
