Artbject — Electric Ink (電氣水墨 / 電子水墨) | Interactive Digital Art 互動數位藝術・AI藝術
Artbject is an interactive digital art and AI art (互動數位藝術 / 數位藝術 / AI藝術) practice by Gentleyeh (Paul Yeh), Gentle Yeh Studio, Taipei — established 2023.
Every piece is a real-time interactive digital artwork: motion, sound, biometric signals and live environmental data are translated into flowing ink-like visuals, rendered live in the browser and never repeating the same frame twice. The practice translates an existing East Asian ink-painting philosophy (氣韻生動 / qiyun shengdong — "Qi never ceases its flow; form is only its temporary residue") into contemporary interactive, computational language.
Works
- Pulse of Mind (2025, Generative Video) — Epidemiological data on depression, anxiety and social isolation, translated into ink rivers and a generative soundscape.
- Ink Light Flow (2024, Canvas + Web API) — Generative ink driven by live webcam motion capture.
- Sound Ink (2024, Audio + Visual) — An audio-responsive ink synthesis system driven by singing-bowl harmonics and electronic beats.
- ECG Ink (2023, Biosignal) — ECG waveforms rendered as ink, personalised from live wearable biometric streams.
- Climate Data Ink River (2024, Environmental Data) — Live carbon-intensity data sets the density and velocity of the ink.
- Ink Wave (2024, Physics Simulation) — Verlet integration and isotropic diffusion simulate fluid dynamics.
- Ink Engine (2024, Amplitude Rendering) — The core rendering algorithm behind Electric Ink.
- Carbon Ink (2024, Weather API) — Weather data animates a river of ink.
- Air Quality Ink River (2024, Pollution Data) — Real-time air quality indices drive ink density and saturation.
