ai_animer, sumi-e video

What it is, and who made it
A 15 s ink-wash (sumi-e) video: figures and a demon form burst into splashes and smoke-like trails, ending on an empty white field.
Parts, layer by layer
- Medium: black ink on white; grey washes (O).
- Motion: mean speed 0.29 widths per second (fast), coherence 0.39, loop closure 0.92 (M).
- Texture: wavelength 0.25 of width, spectral slope 3.13 (smooth washes, M).
- Fluid reading: diffusion, turbulence, opacity; additives ink and wind; spray and mist; processes advection, bleed, transformation.
The framework behind it
Ink as two media at once: a liquid that splashes and a smoke that drifts. The figure exists only while the ink holds together.
The same idea in distant fields
- Suminagashi (ink floated on water).
- Smoke in still air (laminar to turbulent).
- Calligraphy: a stroke's speed sets its dryness.
Dual edge
Generated sumi-e imitates a living tradition; use the physics, not the style labels, and credit ink painting as the source idea.
