The creation of new kinds of interactive environments in art, education, and entertainment (panel session)

Abstract

As graphics technology and software become more mature, it is critical to examine the aesthetics of computer generated images. Effective visual communication and artistic expression are dependent on aesthetic quality. Issues that emerge for artists, designers and computer scientists include: the formal attributes of images, aesthetic evaluation criteria and the desire to detect or implement aesthetic qualities. The panelists, having studied these and other issues, will present and debate their diverse viewpoints.
