Particle Batik: Digitalize Traditional Batik through the Particle-driven System

Abstract

With the deepening of cultural digitization in recent years, researchers have begun to explore the use of digitization to promote the innovation of traditional culture, trying to seek new paths for the promotion and revitalization of conventional culture under new visions, new disciplines, and new technologies. Based on the development history and current situation of Batik in Malaysia and Indonesia, this paper takes Malaysian Batik works as an example. It develops a Batik particle engine-generated painting system-”Particle Batik.” This system is innovative because it ensures that every particle is accurately set up according to the color samples and position of the Batik works during the creation process. When the search engine loads the next Batik artwork, all the particles will be resampled and generated according to the newly loaded artwork, and the trajectories of the particles and their resulting line traces will be continuously superimposed and fused on the canvas, thus forming a dynamic generative artwork evolving. The Particle Batik system enhances the multidimensional expressiveness of Batik, significantly contributing to the global dissemination and cultural value of Batik art. The system successfully integrates traditional handicrafts and modern digital technology and facilitates the mutual exchange and symbiotic development between traditional culture and modern art forms. Promoting the integration and exchange of Batik culture globally allows it to adapt and integrate more closely with contemporary society and culture.
