There has been fascinating work on creating artistic transformations of images by Gatys et al. This was revolutionary in how we can in some sense alter the “style” of an image while generally preserving its “content”. In this work, we present a method for creating new sounds using a similar approach. For demonstration, we investigate two different tasks, resulting in bandwidth expansion/compres...

Research in non-photorealistic rendering often focuses on reproducing specific artistic styles. Unfortunately, many artists are unwilling or unable to articulate the technical basis of their style. Bob Ross is a notable exception. He left behind a complete and explicit record, in print and on video. His paintings cut many corners in the representation of reality, but they are convincing. Bob Ro...

Photorealism is one of the most quoted aspects of nowadays games. However, realistic game graphics is not the only style desirable. This paper surveys the many graphical styles used in past and current games, analyzes graphical aspects of computer games and discuss the use of realism with respect to game graphics. We show several examples and make references to current research, encouraging gam...

Movements and other terms that are sometimes associated with reductive art include abstract art, minimalism, ABC art, anti-illusionism, cool art, and rejective art. Eric Kandel's fifth book focuses on reductionism as the principle guiding an ongoing di...

Recent advances in imaging and multimedia technologies have paved the way for automatic analysis of visual art. Despite notable attempts, extracting relevant patterns from paintings is still a challenging task. Different painters, born in different periods and places, have been influenced by different schools of arts. However, each individual artist also has a unique signature, which is hard to...

This study investigates how semantic networks represent different artistic furniture. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded while participants made style-match judgments for table and chair sets. All of the tables were in the Normal style, whereas the chairs were in the Normal, Minimal, ReadyMade, or Deconstruction styles. The Normal and Minimal chairs had the same rates of "match" resp...

Face sketch synthesis plays a significant role in the domain of face recognition and retrieval applications. Great interest of its applications in law enforcement and entertainment have continued to be noted in the research community. Over the years, great advances have been noted in face sketch synthesis as most recent methods are gradually moving towards deep representation based approaches. ...
