About Kinetic Chinese Characters Inyuguti Zigenda (Kinetic Typography)

Kinetic Chinese Characters ni urukurikirane rw'ibikorwa cumi na bitandatu by'inyuguti zigenda, bishingiye ku bice bigize inyuguti z'Igishinwa. Buri gikorwa gifite insanganyamatsiko itandukanye kandi gikorwa gusa binyuze mu porogaramu za mudasobwa n'algorithms, hakoreshejwe Processing. Kongera ikoranabuhanga rya generative bituma umurongo w'igihe wahoze uhagaze uba uhinduka kandi ibisohoka bitagishoboka guteganywa. Buri gikorwa kirimo agatabo gato ko gusesengura kajyana nako, gakurikiza umuco wa Aziya wo kwerekana ubuvanganzo n'ubuhanzi bw'amashusho hamwe. Iyi series yerekana uburyo igishushanyo cy'inyuguti zigenda gishobora gukoreshwa ku nyuguti z'Igishinwa.

The Recognition

About the Igihembo cya A' Design Award cy'icyuma

Kinetic Chinese Characters Inyuguti Zigenda (Kinetic Typography) ni uwegukanye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cy'icyuma, ishimwe ry'agaciro ritangwa ku bishushanyo byiza bihuza ibyo umwuga n'inganda bikeneye ku bihangano byashushanyijwe neza. Abegukanye icyuma bagaragaza ubuhanga bukomeye, ubumenyi bwihariye, imyumvire y'inzobere n'ubushobozi bwo guhanga bw'ababikoze. Kinetic Chinese Characters Inyuguti Zigenda (Kinetic Typography) biteganyijwe ko izaba igihangano cyubahwa, gishimwa kandi gikundwa, gifatika kandi gifite udushya. Iki gishushanyo cyegukanye icyuma gihuza uburyo bwiza bukoreshwa mu nganda kandi gifite ibiranga bya tekiniki bifite ubushobozi, bifatanye n'ubumenyi n'impano. Kinetic Chinese Characters Inyuguti Zigenda (Kinetic Typography) yubahwa kubera gukora neza, kandi yashushanyijwe kugira ngo inoze ubuzima, ifashe gutuma isi iba nziza.

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.
