This is a “procedurally-generated vector-format infinitely-scrolling Chinese landscape for the browser.” I’ve always been really drawn to this project of LingDong’s. This style of painting is one of my favorite’s and for him to be able to recreate it so beautifully using code is just amazing. He captures the nuance of the style so well from far away, it would be hard to tell if it was digital at all. His work tends to make you forget the technicality and the technology that was used to make it. I think that is why I love this project (and his work in general) so much. While I don’t see myself necessarily doing this exact type of work in the future, I am very inspired by the attention to detail and the way he so effortlessly immerses the viewer… You just get lost in the experience and the beauty. That is the type of work I want to create.
