Bioart is an art practice where artists work with biology, live tissues, bacteria, living organisms, and life processes. Using scientific processes and practices such as biology and life science practices, microscopy , and biotechnology (including technologies such as genetic engineering , tissue culture , and cloning ) the artworks are ...
Aesthetics of science is the study of beauty and matters of taste within the scientific endeavour. Aesthetic features like simplicity, elegance and symmetry are sources of wonder and awe for many scientists, thus motivating scientific pursuit. [ 3 ]
Such features include particular male or female characteristics that have aesthetic appeal to the opposite sex. Sexual selection tends to give rise to competition between individuals of the same gender. Darwin [6] regarded such competition as having molded numerous aspects of animal behavior. Darwin particularly emphasized the striking ...
Most data visualization in systems biology is done using mathematically generated models. Researchers will diagram all of the protein, gene, or metabolic pathways in a given biological system, then determine the speed of the reactions in that system using mass action kinetics or enzyme kinetics .
By the twentieth century, some artists wanted to renew the technique of anamorphosis for aesthetic and conceptual effect. During the First World War, Arthur Mole, an American commercial photographer, used anamorphic techniques to create patriotic images from massive assembled groups of soldiers and reservists. When seen from a tower at their ...
Fractal imagery can be used to introduce irregularity to an otherwise sterile computer generated environment. [3] Simple Koch curves display strict self-similarity. Fractals are generated in music visualization software, screensavers and wallpaper generators. This software presents the user with a more limited range of settings and features ...
An example of the sort of biomorphic forms yielded by Pickover's algorithm. Biomorphs are biological-looking Pickover Stalks. [3] At the end of the 1980s, Pickover developed biological feedback organisms similar to Julia sets and the fractal Mandelbrot set. [4]
BEAM robotics [1] (from biology, electronics, aesthetics and mechanics) is a style of robotics that primarily uses simple analogue circuits, such as comparators, instead of a microprocessor in order to produce an unusually simple design. While not as flexible as microprocessor based robotics, BEAM robotics can be robust and efficient in ...
