ARTIFICIAL CREATIVITY WITH KINETIC DRAWING SYSTEMS BASED ON STOCHASTIC MOTION

This paper presents a kinetic drawing system (KDS) as the virtual motor oriented component of a system for visual creativity (VCS) modelled on stochastic motion based on variations of random walk algorithms. The starting point for this approach comes from the real world where natural collective stochastic motion of inanimate particles leads to aggregations of visual structures which are interesting from an artistic standpoint. The main idea of the current research is to integrate such random walk based stochastic motion into a framework governed by visual design principles and steer resulting form-aggregations into emerging visual designs that evolve continuously producing new compositions. The proposed system is based on loosely modelling Brownian motion and the phenomenon of diffusion limited aggregation.
