Linecascade  線瀑流 

2025

Director Hui-ching Tseng/ Artistic Director Ming-Hui Cheng/ Animation Assistant Pin-Chi Liao/ Original Score by József Iszlai

Linecascade is an experimental abstract animation created through a frame-by-frame, handmade process using tape. The imagery is built from layers of overlapping patterns, where lines continually accumulate and cancel each other out. Each configuration emerges with a degree of unpredictability that the creator cannot fully control. After being shot frame by frame and then played in reverse, the animation allows the lines to flow and grow like a cascading waterfall. The reversed sequence generates unique random effects that even the director cannot foresee until the work is finally completed.

The handmade process inevitably leaves behind mistakes and imperfections, yet these subtle deviations give a carefully structured composition room to breathe and a sense of life. In an era shaped by AI, where images move toward flawless precision, these traces of handcraft become irreplaceable marks of originality. The finished work reveals endless possibilities through randomly generated, overlapping transitions, guiding viewers to experience the unexpected beauty that emerges in the flow of lines.

《Linecascade 線瀑流》為實驗性抽象動畫，採用膠帶逐格手工製作。畫面由層層疊加的線條圖案構成，透過逐格拍攝後倒轉播放，使線條呈現如瀑布般流動與生長的效果。每一圖案的生成存在偶然性，手工製作所留下的微小偏差，使原本工整的構圖呈現呼吸感與生命力。倒轉帶來的特殊隨機效果，使最終影像效果呈現不可完全預測的視覺結果。作品強調手作痕跡在AI精準化影像時代中的原創性，呈現線條重疊、漸變與隨機生成的無限可能，引導觀者在流動的線條間感受意外之美。
