"Find Your Name in the Tree" is an online platform where you can transform your name into a tree and add it to a public archive with a stamp-style signature.
This project explores digital identity by visualizing names as natural forms. It also experiments with writing English words within Chinese grid systems to create authorship art pieces.
- Convert the input name into ASCII or Unicode digits, which are numerical representations used by computers to encode characters.
- Use the resulting sequence of digits to generate a tree structure. Each digit becomes a node, and its value determines the number of child nodes it will have.
- Merge certain branches into mathematical rose patterns for aesthetic appeal and to reduce visual clutter or overlap.
- Refine edge cases to ensure the tree appears natural and well-balanced — for example, condensing long sequences like multiple “10”s into a single rose shape to improve symmetry.
- Finally, transform the name into a signature using APack, like stamping the artwork with your identity to indicate its creator.
