About Kinetic Chinese Characters Kinetic Typography

Ko nga Kinetic Chinese Characters he raupapa o nga mahi kinetic typography tekau ma ono i ahu mai i nga wahanga o nga kanuru Hainamana. He kaupapa rereke ta tetahi mahi, ta tetahi mahi, a ka whakaahuahia ma te whakamahinga noa i te hoahoa rorohiko me nga huringa (algorithms), ma te whakamahi i te Processing. Na te whakaurunga o te hangarau whakatipu (generative technology) ka huri te aronga wa o mua o nga kanuru kia rerekē, a ka kore e taea te matapae nga hua. Ka haere tahi tetahi tuhinga poto whakamiha me tetahi mahi, e whai ana i te tikanga o Ahia mo te tapiritanga o te whiti me te whakaahua. E whakaatu ana te raupapa nei me pehea e taea ai te whakamahi te hoahoa kinetic ki nga kanuru Hainamana.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award Rino

Ko Kinetic Chinese Characters Kinetic Typography te toa o te A' Design Award Rino, he whakaaetanga whai mana e hoatu ana ki ngā hoahoa pai e whakatutuki ana i ngā hiahia ngaio me te ahumahi e tūmanakohia ana mai i ngā mahi kua hoahoatia pai. Ko ngā toa Rino e whakaatu ana i te pukenga nui, te tohungatanga teitei, te māramatanga mātanga me te kaha auaha o ō rātou kaihanga. E tūmanakohia ana ko Kinetic Chinese Characters Kinetic Typography he mahi whakanuia, whakamīharotia, aroha nui, he whaihua, he auaha hoki. Ko tēnei hoahoa i toa i te Rino e whakakotahi ana i ngā tikanga pai rawa o te ahumahi, ā, he āhuatanga hangarau pūkenga tōna e hono ana ki te mōhio me te pūmanawa. E whakahonoretia ana a Kinetic Chinese Characters Kinetic Typography mō tōna tōtika, ā, i hoahoatia hei whakapai ake i te kounga o te oranga me te āwhina i te ao kia pai ake.

Behind the Design

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.
