  • On Hybrid Creativity
    arts Article On Hybrid Creativity Andy Lomas ID Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College, University of London, London SE14 6NW, UK; [email protected] Received: 2 May 2018; Accepted: 5 July 2018; Published: 9 July 2018 Abstract: This article reviews the development of the author’s computational art practice, where the computer is used both as a device that provides the medium for generation of art (‘computer as art’) as well as acting actively as an assistant in the process of creating art (‘computer as artist’s assistant’), helping explore the space of possibilities afforded by generative systems. Drawing analogies with Kasparov’s Advanced Chess and the deliberate development of unstable aircraft using fly-by-wire technology, the article argues for a collaborative relationship with the computer that can free the artist to more fearlessly engage with the challenges of working with emergent systems that exhibit complex unpredictable behavior. The article also describes ‘Species Explorer’, the system the author has created in response to these challenges to assist exploration of the possibilities afforded by parametrically driven generative systems. This system provides a framework to allow the user to use a number of different techniques to explore new parameter combinations, including genetic algorithms, and machine learning methods. As the system learns the artist’s preferences the relationship with the computer can be considered to change from one of assistance to collaboration. Keywords: art; computer; evolutionary design; machine learning; computationally assisted design 1. Introduction How are we to work creatively with generative systems that computationally create results? In particular, how should we work with systems deliberately designed to encourage emergence: complex systems where results are intrinsically difficult to predict? There is a strong analogy with plant breeding, where we are working with a medium that is naturally rich.

In this paper we examine the concept of complexity as it applies to generative art and design. Complexity has many different, dis- cipline specific definitions, such as complexity in physical systems (en- tropy), algorithmic measures of information complexity and the field of \complex systems". We apply a series of different complexity measures to three different generative art datasets and look at the correlations between complexity and individual aesthetic judgement by the artist (in the case of two datasets) or the physically measured complexity of 3D forms. Our results show that the degree of correlation is different for each set and measure, indicating that there is no overall \better" measure.

It will describe the origins of On Growth and Form - its wider scientific context, D’Arcy's specific influences and the support he got from colleagues at University College Dundee. D’Arcy's early work on mathematical biology will be discussed as well as the publication of and response to the book. 09.50-10.10 Sarah Bonnemaison (Dalhousie University, Halifax) D’Arcy Thompson and Organicism In On Growth and Form, D'Arcy Thompson freely navigates between organic and inorganic nature, using one to shed light on the behaviour of the other. The insight, that organic and inorganic share certain patterns of behaviour inspired architect Frei Otto and his research team at the IL to develop modern lightweight structures. Frei Otto studied, among other things, the behaviour of soap film as a modelling technique to find optimum minimal surfaces for tensile roofs and to discover the rules for efficient packing. In this paper, I show the influence of D'Arcy Thompson's approach to deformation as the result of forces and the influence it had on Otto's conception of lightweight structures. To put these issues in their proper intellectual context, I reach into the philosophy of aesthetics of Organicism and focus on the dynamics of invention and interpretation.

  • Understanding Aesthetic Evaluation Using Deep Learning
    Understanding Aesthetic Evaluation using Deep Learning Jon McCormack1[0000−0001−6328−5064] and Andy Lomas2[0000−0003−2177−3021] 1 SensiLab, Monash University, Caulfield East, Victoria 3145, Australia [email protected] http://sensilab.monash.edu 2 Goldsmiths, University of London, London SE14 6NW, UK [email protected] https://www.gold.ac.uk/computing Abstract. A bottleneck in any evolutionary art system is aesthetic evaluation. Many different methods have been proposed to automate the evaluation of aesthetics, including measures of symmetry, coherence, complexity, contrast and grouping. The interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) relies on human-in-the-loop, subjective evaluation of aesthetics, but limits possibilities for large search due to user fatigue and small population sizes. In this paper we look at how recent advances in deep learning can assist in automating personal aesthetic judgement. Using a leading artist's computer art dataset, we use dimensionality reduction methods to visualise both genotype and phenotype space in order to support the exploration of new territory in any generative system. Con- volutional Neural Networks trained on the user's prior aesthetic evalua- tions are used to suggest new possibilities similar or between known high quality genotype-phenotype mappings. Keywords: Evolutionary Art · Aesthetics · Aesthetic Measure · Con- volutional Neural Networks · Dimension Reduction · Morphogenesis. 1 Introduction Artistic evolutionary search systems, such as the Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA) have been used by artists and researchers for decades [8,29,31,32,23,3,27,4,25]. A key advantage of the IGA is that it substitutes formalised fitness measures arXiv:2004.06874v1 [cs.NE] 15 Apr 2020 for human judgement.

  • Max Cooper Yearning for the Infinite
    Max Cooper Yearning for the Infinite Doors 8pm Max Cooper 8.30pm Llyr 10pm, ClubStage Rob Clouth 11pm, ClubStage Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Brit Seaton talks to Max Cooper about technology, infinity and working in new forms for this newly commissioned project. In a time characterised by the limitless creation and storage of data, the weight of the infinite has never been so greatly felt. Our world and its technologies are developing in unprecedented ways, reaching far beyond human comprehension. In his new audio-visual project Yearning for the Infinite, electronica and techno producer Max Cooper seeks to embrace the exploration of these boundless unknowns. Presented as part of the Life Rewired season, Yearning for the Infinite responds to a commission from the Barbican, inviting the London-based artist to reflect on emerging technologies and how they are changing society. Tonight’s live performance, featuring an immersive multi-surface projection, attempts to capture the overwhelming vastness of infinity within the space of the Barbican Hall. For fans of Cooper’s music, it’s no secret that his genre-defying output is influenced by his scientific background and a PhD in computational biology. Finding expression in his emotive electronic vernacular, Cooper’s previous studio albums Human, Emergence and One Hundred Billion Sparks are like encoded conversations examining aspects of the human condition and biology. They speak in ambience, glitches and intricate layers. ‘The science I love is that which relies on aesthetics to gain an intuitive understanding of an abstract unseen system,’ Cooper says. ‘Music is much the same, but it's the intuition and feeling which are at the forefront.
