KANTS is a swarm intelligence clustering algorithm inspired by the behavior of social insects. It uses stigmergy as a strategy for clustering large datasets and, as a result, displays a typical behavior of complex systems: self-organization and global patterns emerging from the local interaction of simple units. This paper introduces a simplified version of KANTS and describes recent experiments with the algorithm in the context of a contemporary artistic and scientific trend called swarm art, a type of generative art in which swarm intelligence systems are used to create artwork or ornamental objects. KANTS is used here for generating color drawings from the input data that represent real-world phenomena, such as electroencephalogram sleep data. However, the main proposal of this paper is an art project based on well-known abstract paintings, from which the chromatic values are extracted and used as input. Colors and shapes are therefore reorganized by KANTS, which generates its own interpretation of the original artworks. The project won the 2012 Evolutionary Art, Design, and Creativity Competition.
KANTS 是一种受群居昆虫行为启发的群体智能聚类算法。它使用信息素作为聚类大数据集的策略，因此表现出复杂系统的典型行为：自组织和全局模式源自简单单元的局部相互作用。本文介绍了 KANTS 的简化版本，并描述了最近在一种称为群体艺术的当代艺术和科学趋势背景下对该算法的实验，这是一种生成艺术，其中使用群体智能系统来创作艺术品或装饰性物体。这里使用 KANTS 从输入数据生成表示现实世界现象的彩色绘图，例如脑电图睡眠数据。然而，本文的主要建议是一个基于著名抽象绘画的艺术项目，从中提取颜色值并将其用作输入。颜色和形状因此被 KANTS 重新组织，它生成对原始艺术品的自己的解释。该项目在 2012 年进化艺术、设计和创造力竞赛中获奖。
