The Design

About Kinetic Chinese Characters Kinetická typografie

Kinetické čínské znaky je série šestnácti děl kinetické typografie založených na komponentech čínských znaků. Každé dílo má odlišné téma a vzniká čistě prostřednictvím počítačového programování a algoritmů s využitím nástroje Processing. Díky použití generativní technologie se dříve pevně daná časová osa znaků stává proměnlivou a výsledky nepředvídatelnými. Ke každému dílu je přiložena krátká esej, navazující na asijskou tradici společné prezentace poezie a malby. Série ukazuje, jak lze kinetický design aplikovat na čínské znaky.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: In this project, integration of code to type and typography revealed that the originally fixed or invariable timeline has changed. Addition of the generative technology resulted in more rich work content and changed it to become unpredictable. With this, the creative technique of kinetic typography can be applied to Chinese characters and the kinetic design integrated with the characteristics of Chinese characters holds unlimited potential.
Dimensions & Packaging: Media & Print matter
Tags: Kinetic , Typography , Generative , Chinese Characters
Production Technology: Processing and based on openprocessing.org
Design Challenge: All Asian designers face the common question of how such theories can take root and become fruitful in the East. As an Asian artist, the author of this study attempted a method of converging computer programming technology and traditional Chinese characters with a focus on the potential of Chinese characters.
Research: Expression of Meaning of Kinetic Chinese Characters using Computer Programming Techniques.
16 works were created based on the components of Chinese characters. The subjects of these works were all different and were made purely through computer programming and algorithms.
Inspiration: The field of kinetic Chinese character design is currently expanding steadily, but the field is yet vague and without a clear definition. However, the everlasting Eastern culture and abundant perspective in search of beauty can become the basis for converging new technologies and new design so that the kinetic Chinese character design can definitely become a new trend that leads the advancement of future design.
Project Duration: 2019, College of Fine Arts, Seoul National University.
Operation Flow: 16 works were created based on the components of Chinese characters. The subjects of these works were all different and were made purely through computer programming and algorithms. Additionally, work appreciation essays were added to each work and this was derived from the Western culture where work appreciation essays are occasionally used for interaction and communication with the audience and the concept of “poetry and paintings having the same source” in Asian traditional art that presents poetry and paintings together.
