The collection of papers that makes up this book arises largely from the joint activities of two specialist groups of the British Computer Society, namely the Displays Group and the Computer Arts Society. Both these groups are now more than 20 years old and during the whole of this time have held regular, separate meetings. In recent years, however, the two groups have held a joint annual meeting at which presentations of mutual interest have been given and it is mainly from the last two of these that the present papers have been drawn. They fall naturally into four classes: visualisation, art, design and animation-although, as in all such cases, the boundaries between the classes are fuzzy and overlap inevitably occurs. Visualisation The graphic potential of computers has been recognised almost since computing was first used, but it is only comparatively recently that their possibilities as devices for the visualisation of complex. and largely ab stract phenomena has begun to be more fully appreciated. Some workers stress the need to be able to model photographic reality in order to assist in this task. They look to better algorithms and more resolution to achieve this end.

It is a matter of providing congenial clues which employ to the greatest extent what we already know.

Synopsis:
This collection of contributions surveys the state-of-the-art in computer applications for graphics in art, animation and design. It provides an integrative view of the technological, computer-related aspects and considerations of the application of the computer as an artistic tool. This book is a valuable source of information for both the programmer interested in computer art, and for the artist exploring the creative potential of computers.
