MATH and ARTS at MATHMOD<br />

The MATHMOD organisers try to design appealing <strong>conference</strong><br />

badges, vouchers and leaflets. For this reason it was<br />

decided to use paintings of famous Austrian artists.<br />

MATHMOD 2003 was dedicated to a well known family of<br />

painters, Kasimir, who painted at lot of Vienna’s buildings<br />

round the turn of the century.<br />

MATHMOD 2006 was dedicated to a world-famous Austrian<br />

Painter, one of the most prominent members of Vienna Art<br />

Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement, Gustav Klimt.<br />

MATHMOD 2009 started with the combination of algorithmic<br />

models and art – algorithmic art pictures as design for<br />

MATHMOD publications and layouts.<br />

MATHMOD <strong>2012</strong> continues the at MATHMOD 2009 established<br />

MATH & ARTS, an idea combining mathematical<br />

modelling and fine arts, continuing and extending essentially<br />

the previous art links:<br />

• presenting lectures on mathematical modelling in fine<br />

arts and ‘non-technical’ sciences,<br />

• designing <strong>conference</strong> publications, badges and other<br />

<strong>conference</strong> handouts with printings and paintings<br />

especially created for MATHMOD,<br />

• providing a small unique <strong>conference</strong> art print<br />

for each participant,<br />

• providing prizes for Best Poster Award,<br />

• creating new layouts for journals e.g. SNE<br />

– Simulation Notes Europe, etc.<br />

MATHMOD - Algorithmic Art<br />

MATHMOD organisers are happy, that Vlatko Ceric - expert<br />

in discrete stochastic modelling and simulation - and expert<br />

and designer in the field of Algorithmic Art - provides his<br />

artwork for MATHMOD. Vlatko Ceric, professor at University<br />

Zagreb, started with algorithmic art in mid-1970th at<br />

early times of computer graphics, and started exhibiting in<br />

2005. Vlatko Ceric participated at exhibitions from New<br />

York City till Perth till Novosibirsk. Algorithmic Art - a<br />

rough definition by V. Ceric:<br />

• an algorithm is a procedure for solving a problem<br />

• a computer program is an algorithm coded in certain<br />

programming language<br />

• algorithmic art is generated by executing specific<br />

algorithms (computer programs)<br />

• no image editing with software (Photoshop) is done<br />

in any stage of image generation<br />

The pictures at right show Vlatko Cerics’s algorithmic art<br />

from different series.<br />
