Virtual Constructive Swarm Compositions and Inspirations

摘要

This work is an example of the interplay between computer-generated art work by a computer scientist and traditional paintings on canvas by an artist. We show that computer-generated swarm constructions can obtain great expressiveness and exhibit liveliness, rhythm, movement, tension, contrasts, organic looks, and rigid forms. These characteristics lend themselves to complement traditional paintings when swarm constructions are integrated into the according works. The interplay between computationally generated and traditional art is even furthered when artistic conceptualizations are governed by swarm constructions.
