Abstract:
This paper references the painting theory of the three distances concept from the Southern Song Dynasty. It introduces a contemporary reinterpretation termed “Computational Three Distances,” which employs computer algorithms as the means of painting, departing from traditional ink-brush techniques. The three distances encompass “micro-distance, volume-distance, and time-distance.” This study reexamines the adjustability of microscopic world units, the density of medium within volumes along with light scattering effects, and the accumulation and erosion of time. It then puts this theory into practice, offering illustrative methods for each aspect.
