Sampling Calligraphy:The Drawing and Viewing Method derived from a Calligraphy System based on the Sampler Metaphor

The Journal of the Society for Art and Science, 2010

In this paper, we propose a new calligraphy drawing system based on the principles behind the electronic music sampler. Our purpose is to render the traditional expression of calligraphy brushstrokes digitally and to propose a new mode of expression by taking after the sampler metaphor. By this system, the user scans over reference calligraphy images by tracing the stroke with a mouse-pointer, and rewrites a calligraphy by outputting sampled images on the drawing window. We designed the system with the idea of a music sampler device in mind, and built on this metaphor by adding further editing functions; envelope generator and mixer. Moreover, we installed a function that allows referencing back to the original images. This option allows us to relive, in graphic terms, the pleasure of discovering the original work behind a piece of sampled music.
