Constraint Handling Rules

VanDeGraphGenerator, an AI that generates abstract art, was selected as official contribution to the German Science Year 2019 on Artificial Intelligence of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. More information in this article on the project’s website.

The computer software VanDeGraphGenerator analyses, generates and visualizes line graphics. We used the VanDeGraphGenerator algorithm to classify and generate designs for mason’s marks. Now an extension of VanDeGraphGenerator VdGG+ turns this medieval craftsmanship into contemporary abstract digital art. More information on https://www.ai-art.info/.
