Description for Designing Beauty: The Art of Cellular Automata
Hardback. Editor(s): Adamatzky, Andrew; Martinez, Genaro J. Series: Emergence, Complexity and Computation. BIC Classification: GPFC. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This fascinating, colourful book offers in-depth insights and first-hand working experiences in the production of art works, using simple computational models with rich morphological behaviour, at the edge of mathematics, computer science, physics and biology. It organically combines ground breaking scientific discoveries in the theory of computation and complex systems with artistic representations of the research results. In this appealing book mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists, and engineers brought together marvelous and esoteric patterns generated by cellular automata, which are arrays of simple machines with complex behavior. Configurations produced by cellular automata uncover mechanics of dynamic patterns formation, ... Read more

Reviews for Designing Beauty: The Art of Cellular Automata
The authors succinctly describe the core ideas of the automata used to generate the beautiful images, and some of the interesting explorations that led to the particular calculations behind the images included in the book. ... The images and the reference list together make the book a valuable starting point for those interested in the theory or the art, or ... Read more
