Sparked by their recent research efforts, the authors of this text view themselves as being on a mission to explore digital art-that is, art that is created on or by a computer. They encourage aspiring modern artists to use nouveau technology, such as computers, instead of more traditional artistic approaches. In this manner, computer scientists can further the pervasive computing movement to include domains that have not been extensively cultivated with computer technology. This book is quite innovative in its perspective of how the brushstrokes necessary for Chinese calligraphy can be traced in paintings. Anecdotally, the authors use the enthusiasm for the 2008 Beijing Olympics to encourage spectators to study Chinese arts, too.
