About Kinetic Chinese Characters Umsebenzi Oyinhloko Wokuphephisa

Imibhalo Yencwadi: I-Kinetic Chinese Characters iwuchungechunge lwemisebenzi eyishumi nesithupha yokuloba okunyakazayo esekelwe ezingxenyeni zezinhlamvu zesiShayina. Umsebenzi ngamunye unesihloko esihlukile futhi ukhiqizwa ngokuphelele ngokuhlela ikhompuyutha nama-algorithm, kusetshenziswa i-Processing. Ukwengezwa kobuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza kwenza ukuthi umugqa wesikhathi wezinhlamvu owawuqinile kwakuqala ube yinto eguqukayo futhi imiphumela ingabikezeleki. Insumansumane emfushane yokujabulela iyahambisana nomsebenzi ngamunye, ilandela isiko lase-Asia lokwethula izinkondlo nemidwebo ndawonye. Loluchungechunge lukhombisa indlela ubuciko bokwakha okunyakazayo bungasetshenziswa kanjani ezinhlamvini zesiShayina.

The Recognition

About the Umklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award

Kinetic Chinese Characters Umsebenzi Oyinhloko Wokuphephisa iwinile uMklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile okunikezwa imiklamo emihle ehlangabezana nezidingo zobungcweti nezemboni ezilindelekile ezimpahleni ezihlelwe kahle. Abawinile beNsimbi babonisa ikhono elikhulu, ubungcweti obuphezulu, ukuqonda kochwepheshe namandla okudala abadali babo. Kinetic Chinese Characters Umsebenzi Oyinhloko Wokuphephisa ilindeleke ukuba ibe yinto exatshwa kakhulu, edunyiswayo nethandwayo esebenzayo nenezinto ezintsha. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award uhlanganisa izindlela ezinhle kakhulu zemboni futhi unezimfanelo zobuchwepheshe ezifanelekile ezihlanganiswe nolwazi nethalente. Kinetic Chinese Characters Umsebenzi Oyinhloko Wokuphephisa iyahlonishwa ngenxa yokucophelela kwayo futhi ihlelelwe ukulethela izinguquko zomgangatho wempilo ezisiza ukwenza umhlaba ube yindawo engcono.

Behind the Design

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.
