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 />
