A collage is a composite of a several different media elements combined to form an artistic creation. The media elements used in a collage vary by artistic preference and the message the collage is meant to convey. A very popular media to use is images or photographs. For the purposes of this proposal, I will refer to a collage, and photo collage interchangeably as I am not considering collages...

The artistic style of a painting is a subtle aesthetic judgment used by art historians for grouping and classifying artwork. The neural style algorithm introduced by Gatys et al. (2016) substantially succeeds in image style transfer, the task of merging the style of one image with the content of another. This work investigates the effectiveness of a style representation derived from the neural ...

A talented artist developed a progressive aphasia syndrome associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). As her disease progressed, language and executive skills declined, but her paintings became freer and more original. She demonstrates that artistic development can occur in the setting of language-dominant types of FTD. The study of artistic development in the setting of FTD suggests that l...

Tracey Emin is one of the bestknown current British artists. Her art is essentially autobiographical. The major aim of the present essay is to analyze Emin’s artist work and to study her artistic references. To fulfill this goal, biographic references, linked to her artistic work, are mentioned and her topics, obsessions, procedures, and techniques are reviewed, with a special mention to the ce...

The paper presents a new case of neuronal intermediate filament inclusion disease (NIFID), a recently described new variant of early-onset frontotemporal dementia. Documented with repetitive brain images, morphologically proven cases additionally endorse evolving the clinical and pathological phenotype of NIFID. For the first time the paper describes the probable influence of NIFID on the artis...

Nowadays psychologists have decisively shifted their focus to well-being as a component of school life. Hence, this study was carried out to examine the mediating role of general causality orientation (and its three components, i.e., autonomy, control and impersonal) in the relationship between parental bonding and school well-being. The statistical population of the study was comprised of all ...

We have implemented a non-photorealistic rendering system which simulates the placement of paint/pencil/pastel strokes to produce representational artworks from digital images. The system is able to record an image of each paint stroke independent of the overall picture, in addition to some details about each stroke. Working with sets of paint strokes from paintings of different images, we inve...

BACKGROUND Two professional painters experienced significant changes in their art as the main consequence of minor stroke located in the left occipital lobe or thalamus. METHODS The features of this artistic conversion were analysed on the basis of extensive neurological, neuropsychological, and psychiatric evaluations. RESULTS Both painters, initially unaware of the artistic changes, exhib...

Creative Symbolic Interaction brings together the advantages from the worlds of interactive real-time computing and intelligent, content-level analysis and processing, in order to enhance and humanize man-machine communication. Performers improvising along with Symbolic Interaction systems experiment a unique artistic situation where they interact with musical (and possibly multi-modal) agents ...

The 1957 musical composition Achorripsis by Iannis Xenakis was composed using four different probability distributions, applied over three different organizational domains, during the course of the 7 minute piece. While Xenakis did not have sonification in mind, his artistic choices in rendering mathematical formulations into musical events (time, space, timbre, glissando speed) provide useful ...
