Study – The Significance of Stars in Islamic Art | Stars in Symmetry Oh my goodness I haven’t posted anything for more than two weeks! I guess I was really occupied with things to do during Ramadhan and what’s with irregular working hours I have to put up with….it has been a tiring but pleasant Ramadan so far. So to restart the blog, here is a brand new article for you. As you may know, if you follow this blog from the start, you would notice that Islamic art such as Zellige or Geometric art features heavily on stars. One must wonder why does Islamic art features stars and star shaped motifs, and why it is almost a definition of Islamic art itself. In Islam, Muslims are forbidden of drawing animate beings and objects thus figurative art that features human or animal figures were underdeveloped, for the fear of idolatry. Following are some theories on why Muslim artists selected star geometric art to convey their creativity - Like this: Like Loading...
Generative Art Links Some links to Generative Art, Math & Fractals, and other creative ways of creating computional imagery. The list is not meant to be exhaustive: rather, it is a list of my favorite links. Generative Art Software General-Purpose Software Processing is probably the most used platform for Generative Art. It is an “open source programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) built for the electronic arts and visual design communities”. Nodebox – A Python based alternative to Processing. vvvv is “a toolkit for real time video synthesis”. PureData a “real-time graphical dataflow programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing.” Specific Systems Context Free Art – uses Context Free Design Grammars to generate 2D images. Structure Synth – my own attempt to extend Context Free Art into three dimensions. TopMod3D – “is a free, open source, portable, platform independent topological mesh modeling system that allows users to create high genus 2-manifold meshes”. Ready.

L’utilisateur peut notamment : préparer les pièces et mettre sol et plafond ; dessiner les murs des pièces par-dessus l’image d’un plan existant, et appliquer une couleur ou une texture aux murs ; créer et éditer les côtes dans le plan ; glisser-déposer ses meubles dans le plan à partir d’un catalogue organisé par catégories (salon, cuisine...), dans lequel il peut importer ses propres modèles 3D ou provenant de différents sites ; modifier à la souris les dimensions, l’orientation et l’élévation des meubles ; imprimer sous Windows et Mac OS X, et copier les éléments sélectionnés dans le plan pour les coller dans une autre application.
ntent & usability: Web writing Web writing is totally different to writing for printed matter. We tend to scan content on the web hunting for the information we're after, as opposed to reading word-for-word. As a result of this, there are certain guidelines you should be sure to follow when writing copy for your website: 1. Use clear and simple language Reading from computer screens is tiring for the eyes and about 25% slower than reading from printed matter. Some techniques for using clear and simple language include: Avoid slang or jargon - Get your grandmother and ten year old nephew to read your site - if both can understand the page content you've done well! 2. If you assign just one idea to each paragraph site visitors can: Easily scan through each paragraph Get the general gist of what the paragraph is about Then move on to the next paragraph All this and without fear that they'll be skipping over important information, because they will already know roughly what the paragraph is about. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Conclusion
pySVG - creating svg with python by codeboje.de pySVG - creating svg with python pySVG is a pure Python library to create SVG documents. Essentially it is a python wrapper around svg with the goal to allow people to "program svg". pySVG can be used to produce svg as an outcome of algorithms you implement (like koch curves, Lindenmayr systems etc.) Working with pySVG is pretty straightforward. Current status: Pretty much all elements should be implemented.

Generative art Joseph NechvatalOrgiastic abattOir,2004 computer-robotic assisted acrylic on canvas created by viral-based C++ software Installation view of Irrationnal Geometrics 2008 by Pascal Dombis Generative art refers to art that in whole or in part has been created with the use of an autonomous system. An autonomous system in this context is generally one that is non-human and can independently determine features of an artwork that would otherwise require decisions made directly by the artist. "Generative Art" is often used to refer to computer generated artwork that is algorithmically determined. Examples of generative art[edit] Music[edit] Johann Philipp Kirnberger's "Musikalisches Würfelspiel" (Musical Dice Game) 1757 is considered an early example of a generative system based on randomness.

Design advanced online and interactive maps with Polymaps In a collaboration between SimpleGeo, who makes location data easier to access, and Stamen, who does all kinds of wonderful with maps, announced Polymaps today. It's a free and open-source JavaScript library for image- and vector-tiled maps using SVG. Polymaps provides speedy display of multi-zoom datasets over maps, and supports a variety of visual presentations for tiled vector data, in addition to the usual cartography from OpenStreetMap, CloudMade, Bing, and other providers of image-based web maps.Because Polymaps can load data at a full range of scales, it’s ideal for showing information from country level on down to states, cities, neighborhoods, and individual streets. Because Polymaps uses SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to display information, you can use familiar, comfortable CSS rules to define the design of your data. The above is map using Flickr shapefiles. Here's another showing unemployment. This is customizable sexiness right here.
