Computational Batik Motif Generation Innovation of Traditi onal Heritage by Fracta l Computation

2. The Implementation of Com putati onal Motif Generatio n on Batik Process

Iterated Function System based upon Collage Theorem, propose d by Michael Ba rns ley (1988) is
proposed as one concept to analyze the fractal properties of Batik motif. The algorithm base upon
concept in which one of a few simple rules is selected at ra ndom and applied to a dot, to yield a new
dots iteratively, as it has been implemented as motif generator (Situngki r, 2009).

However, the implementation of the generated motif as the source for batik design is considered as
a new field, and thus should be tested and developed further to provi de the appropriate computer
system design, methods, and tools for mbatik process. In order to evaluate the usage of
computational system, i.e. the algorithm and the software, to be implemented as batik, we deployed
the interaction scheme of the computer system with human practice in traditional batik process
(fi gure 2). The interaction scheme as we ca n see in figure 2 is conducted in a workshop involving
nine senior high school students that act as software user and batik painter as well.

In this workshop, all students are instructed to use the software with the guida nce of software
instructor. Before using the software, students are informed about fractal, including its concept and
several fractal generation algorithms. Therefore, we ca n assume that all students are having a basic
and genera l understanding about fractal before they use the software. In order to generate the
motif, the students only draw several tria ngles on screen to determine all affine transformations of
