Adaptive Art – A Shape Language Driven Approach to Communicate Dramaturgy and Mood

Abstract

Graphic designers and visual artists express their narrative intentions using visual tools which essentially include the styling of shapes. In classic art forms design decisions are limited to the initial creation process. Although technical progress makes it possible to adjust contentwise dramaturgy in real-time, the graphical design process often still has static characteristics. In our current work we therefore study how dramaturgical non-linearity can be combined with a flexible visual shape language to conform content-wise narration to visual expressiveness in real-time.

“…Moreover, previous work [2] presented how classic artists utilize stylistic methods like composition and shape to emphasize the expression of their work and how such principles can be applied to dynamic and interactive dramaturgy. In our game prototype we used procedural color processing, different light models and levels of asset details, which are adjusted to the intended dramaturgical expression of the garden's health state.…”
