This paper describes a digital project in which ink-and-wash painting, an East Asian art form with a 1,300-year history, is drawn in interaction with an audience. This project was intended to analyze the traditional thoughts and techniques associated with the ink-andwash painting of an orchid, a design that expresses Eastern philosophy. The project relies on an interactive technique to demonstr...

James McNeill Whistler's painting "The White Girl (Symphony in White, No. 1)" caused a scandal for depicting a woman dressed all in white, uncontained by any clear framing narrative. Though the painting is usually read into history of modernism for its experimental play with tones of white, in fact the painting was linked by Victorian viewers to the mass-cultural phenomenon surrounding Wilkie C...

The contribution of this paper is a novel non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) algorithm for rendering real images in an impasto painterly style. We argue that figurative artworks are salience maps, and develop a novel painting algorithm that uses a genetic algorithm (GA) to search the space of possible paintings for a given image, so approaching an “optimal” artwork in which salient detail is co...

The loads on the knees in concrete reinforcement work and maintenance painting were analysed on eight construction work sites. A total of 352 reinforcement workers and 231 painters. Finnish men aged 20-64, were clinically and radiologically examined to determine the condition of the knee joints in active workers. The loads on the knees and the occurrence of minor injuries and accidents were hig...

The use of chromosome in situ suppression hybridisation with whole chromosome libraries has previously been reported by various research laboratories to be an effective method of identifying specific human chromosomal material. As a clinical cytogenetic service laboratory we have used the technique as a complement to diagnosis by classical chromosome banding. In three examples of structural rea...

The method presented in this paper answers the following question related to the documentation of mural painting conservation: how can information technology be applied in order to achieve ease of symbolizing and updating, better accuracy, flexible presentation, ease of integration and cross-link with other data? Furthermore, another important issue: are all these possible at a low cost? 1. GRA...

A painting consists of objects which are arranged in specific ways. The art of painting is drawing the objects, which can be considered as known trends, in an expressive manner. Detrended methods are suitable for characterizing the artistic works of the painter by eliminating trends. It means that we study the paintings, regardless of its apparent purpose, as a stochastic process. We apply mult...
