Art::World - Agents interactions modeling 🎨

SYNOPSIS

use Art::World;

my $artwork = Art::World->new_artwork(
  creator => [ $artist, $another_artist ]  ,
  value => 100,

DESCRIPTION

Art::World is an attempt to model and simulate a system describing the interactions and influences between the various agents of the art world.

More informations about the purposes and aims of this project can be found in it's Art::World::Manual. Especially, the HISTORY and the OBJECTIVES section could be very handy to understand how this is an artwork using programming.

ROLES

Active

Provide a participate method.

Buyer

Provide a aquire method requiring some money. All this behavior and attributes are encapsulated in the Buyer role because there is no such thing as somebody in the art world that buy but doesn't sale.

Collectionable

If it's collectionable, it can go to a Collector collection or in a Museum.

Concept

Exhibit

Role for Places that display some Artworks.

Fame

Fame role provide ways to control the knowledge and reputation that various Agents, Places or Works have.

It has an handy bump_fame() method that self-bump the fame count. It can be passed a positive Num, a negative Num (so that the fame will get lower) and even no parameter, in that case it will just add 1.

Market

It is all about offer and demand. Involve a price but should involve more money I guess.

Showable

Only an object that does the Showable role can be exhibited. An object should be exhibited only if it reached the Showable stage.

CLASSES

Agent

They are the activists of the Art World, well known as the wildlife.

my $agent = Art::World->new_agent( name => $f->person_name );

$agent->participate;    # ==>  "That's interesting"

A generic entity that can be any activist of the Art::World. Provides all kind of Agent classes and roles.

Art

Will be what you decide it to be depending on how you combine all the entities.
