Simon Colton’s Painting Fool system aims to produce more conventional,
less mathematical forms of visual art, simulating a wide variety of media
(canvas, paper, ink oil, acrylic, pencil, pastel, charcoal) and tools (pens,
pencils, brushes and stroke styles).
The Painting Fool typically begins with a digital image or a live video grab,
and uses this pixel map as a guide to producing a corresponding painting.
The Painting Fool uses a variety of
user cues (such as simple affective
analysis of the user’s mood) to
make artistic choices and yield a
non-deterministic choices.
