The Garden of Chances: an Integrated Approach to Abstract Painting and Reactive DAI
Guillaume Hutzler—Bernard Gortais—Alexis Drogoul · 1997
Following our development experience with an artistic application using multi-agent techniques —The Garden of Chances— we elaborate in this paper a comparative study of abstract painting and reactive Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). More specifically, we underline the interest of reactive DAI as a tool for artists, while showing how abstract art reformulates the recurrent problematics of emergence and interpretation, providing us with a new basis for approaching Artificial Life and reactive DAI. We also suggest new research directions in the field of data visualization using artistic paradigms.
