Information art

Information art, which is also known as informatism or data art, is an emerging art form that is inspired by and principally incorporates data, computer science, information technology, artificial intelligence, and related data-driven fields. The information revolution has resulted in over-abundant data that are critical in a wide range of areas, from the Internet to healthcare systems. Related to conceptual art, electronic art and new media art, informatism considers this new technological, economical, and cultural paradigm shift, such that artworks may provide social commentaries, synthesize multiple disciplines, and develop new aesthetics. Realization of information art often take, although not necessarily, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches incorporating visual, audio, data analysis, performance, and others. Furthermore, physical and virtual installations involving informatism often provide human-computer interaction that generate artistic contents based on the processing of large amounts of data. Information art has a long history as visualization of qualitative and quantitative data forms a foundation in science, technology, and governance. Information design and informational graphics, which has existed before computing and the Internet, are closely connected with this new emergent art movement. An early example of informatism the 1970 exhibition organized called "Information" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City (curated by Kynaston McShine). This is the time when conceptual art has emerged as a leading tendency in the United States and internationally. At the same time arose the activities of Experiments in Art and Technology known as E.A.T. Information art are manifested using a variety of data sources such as photographs, census data, video clips, search engine results, digital painting, network signals, and others. Often, such data are transformed, analyzed, and interpreted in order to convey concepts and develop aesthetics.

SNM: Stochastic Newton Method for Optimization of Discrete Choice Models

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Gael Lederrey

Optimization algorithms are rarely mentioned in the discrete choice literature. One reason may be that classic Newton-Raphson methods have been rather successful in estimating discrete choice parameters on available data sets of limited size. However, than ...

New media art
New media art includes artworks designed and produced by means of electronic media technologies, comprising virtual art, computer graphics, computer animation, digital art, interactive art, sound art, Internet art, video games, robotics, 3D printing, and cyborg art. The term defines itself by the thereby created artwork, which differentiates itself from that deriving from conventional visual arts (i.e. architecture, painting, sculpture, etc.). New Media art has origins in the worlds of science, art, and performance.
Peinture (art)
vignette|L'Art de la peinture (vers 1666) par Vermeer. La peinture est une forme artistique dont les diverses techniques consistent à appliquer manuellement ou mécaniquement, sur une surface, des couleurs sous forme de pigments mélangés à un liant ou un diluant. Les artistes peintres s'expriment sur des supports tels que la toile, le papier, le bois, etc. Ouvrage de représentation ou d'invention, la peinture peut être naturaliste et figurative, ou abstraite. Elle peut avoir un contenu narratif, descriptif, symbolique, spirituel, ou philosophique.
Systems art
Systems art is art influenced by cybernetics, and systems theory, that reflects on natural systems, social systems and social signs of the art world itself. Systems art emerged as part of the first wave of the conceptual art movement extended in the 1960s and 1970s. Closely related and overlapping terms are anti-form movement, cybernetic art, generative systems, process art, systems aesthetic, systemic art, systemic painting, and systems sculptures.
