ludic aspects of the generative audiovisual narrative system
This paper documents a research project that deals with the application of an artificial life (AL) approach for creating cinematographic narration. The project investigates the possibility of producing autonomous audiovisual sequences, in which meaning results from a kind of hypermontage, conditioned by genetic algorithms. Firstly a relevant literature review lead to the formulation of a theoretical thesis regarding generative narratives and consequently, a system was created to support and evaluate this thesis. During the presentation of this paper, the system and its audiovisual results will be demonstrated. Such approach may also hold potential for Pervasive Awareness application scenarios, and could produce subtle behavior changes to the awareness applications.
