"This book comprises a collection of authors' individual approaches to the relationship between nature, science, and art created with the use of computers, discussing issues related to the use of visual language in communication about biologically-inspired scientific data, visual literacy in science, and application of practitioner's approach"--Provided by publisher.
Contributors from the three fields--biology, computers, and art--explore how people look at nature and its organic forms, then use computers to transform them into art. They cover visual data formation: the biology-inspired generation and analysis of objects and processes, visualizing the invisible: processes for the visual data formation, scientific communication through visual language, tools for metaphors: nature described with the use of mathematics and computing, and analytical discourse: the philosophy and aesthetics of nature-inspired creations. Among the topics are a biomimetic stridulation environment, seeing the unseen, looking at science through water, designing and prototyping kinetic objects, and aesthetics based on the fractal and holographic.
