Hybridization between brain waves and painting

Abstract

During the past decades, many new digital technologies were adopted in the field of art, leading to a variety of new art forms. As a result, the boundary between fiction and reality becomes more and more blurred. This paper introduces a new technology that captures virtual brain waves and, through this technology, investigates the interaction between human brain and the traditional arts, including Chinese philosophy, traditional Chinese medical science and traditional Chinese painting. Through this research, using consciousness to interact with digital Chinese ink painting (Figure 1) was carried out. Furthermore, the concept of Qi in ancient Chinese philosophy, namely the harmony between human and nature, was also introduced as the spirit of this work, and thus the concept was deeply understood.
