Pop Art is the representative of a cultural identity that has been represented as a kind of art in the mid-twentieth century. It is based on the ordinary manifes‌tations of people’s lives, and by concentrating on media and propaganda it has become pervasive in a short time as if it is a newly emerged culture that has appeared not from the inside of community but from outside and by those sociol...

Few simulation methods have succeeded in sampling efficiently the phase space of complex systems with a dynamics dominated by activated events. In order to address this limitation, we have recently introduced an activated algorithm based on a mixture of the activation-relaxation technique and molecular dynamics (the properly obeying probability activation relaxation technique, POP-ART). We show...

In this paper we present our findings of our continued investigation into the use of Scalable Vector Graphics as a genotype representation in evolutionary art. In previous work we investigated the feasibility of SVG as a genetic representation for evolutionary art, and found that the representation was very flexible, but that the potential visual output was somewhat limited by the simplicity of...

Origami is the centuries-old art of folding paper, and recently, it is investigated as science. In this paper, another hundreds-old art of folding paper, a pop-up book, is studied. A model for the pop-up book design problem is given, and its complexity is investigated. We show that both of the opening book problem and the closing book problem are NP-hard.
