    Artistic Sketching for Expressive Coding
    (The Eurographics Association, 2019) Fourquet, Elodie; Berio, Daniel and Cruz, Pedro and Echevarria, Jose
    This experiential paper describes using computer graphics and animation to motivate students taking their first programming course. An artistic context encourages students to create expressive images and animations. Their creative work consists in first abstracting a piece of art as a paper sketch, which they then abstract into code. Assessing the artistic merit of this activity will help our research community quest to better understand aesthetic, perception and meaning of visual representations [DS10].

    The CyberAnthill: A Computational Sculpture
    (The Eurographics Association, 2019) Raskob, Evan; Berio, Daniel and Cruz, Pedro and Echevarria, Jose
    The CyberAnthill is both a generative sculpture and a Live Computational Sculpting (LCS) system that uses a 3D printer and custom software to build plastic sculptures out of layered cellular automata. As the title alludes to, the cellular automata are inspired by Langston's Ant and the light cycle racers in the cult 1980's science-fiction movie Tron. Instead of the normal process of printing exacting, predetermined 3D models, the 3D printer generates its plastic forms by running unpredictable computer code.

    Emergence in the Expressive Machine
    (The Eurographics Association, 2019) Dekker, Laura; Berio, Daniel and Cruz, Pedro and Echevarria, Jose
    The ''Expressive Machine'' is a series of interactive artworks which explore a machine's-eye view of the world. The machine- an assemblage of hardware and software-provokes sensual interaction with viewer-participants, playing with transduction across multiple modes: from touch to sound, to word, to vision, to taste, to uniquely machinic states with no particular human analogue. These stimuli are processed in various interpretations, elaborations, in a relatively unstructured ''data soup''. Asynchronous processes consume data from the soup. When trigger conditions for a particular expressive process are satisfied, the machine produces externalised outputs in various forms: sound, shift of attention, fragments of narrative, and so on. What can be considered as creativity arises as an emergent property-a serendipitous by-product of the machine working through its experiences, rather than an explicit creative process. To make this conceptual exploration possible, an adaptable, extensible, decentralised system is presented: its requirements, architecture and some implementations as interactive artworks. Each new site and context gives rise to a unique instantiation of the machine, as it explores and expresses its experiences.

    Mutator VR: Vortex Artwork and Science Pedagogy Adaptations
    (The Eurographics Association, 2019) Putnam, Lance; Todd, Stephen; Latham, William; Williams, Duncan; Berio, Daniel and Cruz, Pedro and Echevarria, Jose
    We present our virtual reality artwork Mutator VR: Vortex that immerses the viewer in procedurally-generated alien environments inhabited by interactive ''mutoid'' agents. The artwork was adapted into two science pedagogy experiences. Techniques and considerations regarding the dynamical, spatial, and graphical composition of the experiences are provided.
