Chinese Painting, 2022
Python script, digital images
Pictographs or symbols, constituting a pivotal category in the evolutionary trajectory of Chinese characters, serve as a means to depict objects, entities, or abstract concepts. Chinese Painting uses a computer vision algorithm to resolve the boundaries of each pixel in an image and then replaces each pixel with a selection of Chinese characters based on their grey level. This process of reconfiguration culminates in the creation of images composed entirely of Chinese characters. It encourages viewers to engage in profound contemplation and enhanced comprehension of the intricate interplay between Chinese characters and imagery.
