ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a new model of perception called Perceptual Logic and applies it to the domain of art to understand artistic style. We describe style in terms of affordances, or ways in which an artist can interact with and contribute to an artwork. Different types of Perceptual Logic are found to influence the perceived affordances of an artwork. We present a computational collaborative art program called PERLOGICART that uses a computational model of Perceptual Logic to learn an artist's style through collaboration. The research is conducted using a practice-based method --- we are working on building an interactive tool to support the making of artworks and the understanding of the creative process at the same time. PERLOGICART is a compelling interactive artwork as well as a valuable research tool that records and categorizes the creative process in a systematic manner.

Alchemy: experiments in interactive drawing, creativity, & serendipity
C&C '09: Proceedings of the seventh ACM conference on Creativity and cognitionThis paper presents an overview of Alchemy, an experimental drawing application aimed at exploring how we can sketch, draw, and create on computers in new ways. Alchemy focuses on the absolute initial stage of the creative process, to provide an ...
Reimagining life (forms) with generative and bio art
AbstractArtists and designers working in the fields of generative and bio art frequently focus on designing speculative visions of how nature can be reimagined with the use of computational media and synthetic biology. Centered on the unique artistic ...
Investigating exceptional poets to inform an understanding of the relationship between poetry and design
DESIRE '11: Procedings of the Second Conference on Creativity and Innovation in DesignOur previous research has indicated that poetry and design are two forms of creative activity that have many parallels, including the role of "sources of inspiration" in driving the creation of solution ideas and the central involvement of initial ...
