using rules for creativity in visual composition
This article describes a computational system based on rules for generating visual patterns. The rules, usually referred to as shape grammar rules, similar to the rules of an expert system and can take given geometric shapes to produce new shapes. Shape grammar rules can be designed and grouped to emulate styles of visual composition, and different groups of rules, or styles, can be used to simulate different artistic intelligent agents with different styles. The idea is to have a system that, by making use of the shape grammar formalism, can support visual composition synthesis activities, with each intervening agent giving its creative contribution through a style of its own.
