ABSTRACT

Advances in computing supported progress in installation art, performances, mathematical art, bio-inspired art, nano art, visualisation based art, visual music, simulations, robotics based art, 3D printing, wearable art and works based on ubiquitous apps, new materials, fibre optics, virtual reality (VR), and more. This chapter shows how intricate geometric patterns can be created with relatively small, simple programs written in Python. Python is a general-purpose programming language that is currently used for almost every kind of computer application. The chapter describes a set of MATLAB® functions that generate intricate geometric figures from a small set of numbers that determine the geometric characteristics of the figures. There are many different types of art practised. In the visual arts there are four main categories: The portrait and group portrait; landscape; still life; and abstract.
