Abstract

Color symmetry is an extension of the symmetry imposed by isometric transformations and indicates that the colors of geometrical objects are assigned according to the symmetry properties of these objects. A color symmetry permutes the coloring of the objects consistently with their symmetry group. We apply this concept to bio-inspired generative art. Therefore, the geometrical objects are interpreted as motifs that may repeat themselves with a symmetry-consistent coloring. The motifs are obtained by design principles from stigmergy. We discuss the design procedure and present visual results.
