Abstract motionscapes – the extensive compositions of visual forms in motion – are often used for the evocation of affective experience in many recent interactive artifacts and environments. The aesthetics of motionscapes can be informed by case studies and from close readings in the fields of experimental animation, abstract cinema, and generative and interactive art and design. Recent empiric...

udience participation in musical performances can be manifested in many ways, from a receiver sense (sitting in silent contemplation of sounds, for example) to a more active form of participation involving physical actions contributing to the performance (singing along with musicians, for example). We consider the latter to be creative participation. Note that we’re not referring to creative pa...

in 20th century, artist’s new experiences and diverse examinations along with emerging different art movements, was so immense that in every decade of last century we faced with prodigious changes in modern arts. improvisation is one of the phenomena which enlivened in visual arts of early 20th. in 1909, among art revolutions in the west, visual arts experienced the “improvisation” in the works...

This paper focuses on classification problems, and in particular on the evolution of ARTMAP architectures using genetic algorithms, with the objective of improving generalization performance and alleviating the adaptive resonance theory (ART) category proliferation problem. In a previous effort, we introduced evolutionary fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM), referred to as genetic Fuzzy ARTMAP (GFAM). In this p...

In this paper, a novel Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern (PGDP) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. Geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3D images with different pose and expression variations. An extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available Bosphorus and BU-3...

The paper first discusses early work that predated internet art and that was concerned with active audience participation in electronic art and describes the path of development of the first author’s artworks that have looked at human to human communication through electronic (computer) systems from 1970 until today. The fundamental concept has been to make artworks that explore human communica...

Adaptive resonance theory (ART) describes a family of self-organizing neural networks, capable of clustering arbitrary sequences of input patterns into stable recognition codes. Many different types of ART-networks have been developed to improve clustering capabilities. In this paper we compare clustering performance of different types of ART-networks: Fuzzy ART, ART 2A with and without complem...
