This article provides a new perspective on the contribution of computers to visual art, exploring how the visual product’s aesthetic qualities and the making process itself can render a hybrid artistic outcome. A medium that unifies the physical product with the spirit of the making process has innovative potential for computational artistic practice. The article demonstrates various techniques to visualize artists’ motor performance in activities such as drawing and carving. The authors digitally track artists’ movements and computer graphic tools to expose expressive performance, highlight working styles and bring their strokes’ hidden paths to the artwork’s forefront. The authors discuss contextual application of this form of visualization to new domains of visual art.

本文为计算机对视觉艺术的贡献提供了一个新的视角，探讨了视觉产品的审美品质和制作过程本身如何呈现出混合的艺术效果。将物理产品与制作过程的精神统一起来的媒介具有计算艺术实践的创新潜力。本文展示了各种技术，可将艺术家在绘画和雕刻等活动中的运动表现可视化。作者以数字方式跟踪艺术家的动作和计算机图形工具，以展示表现力的表现，突出工作风格，并将他们的笔触隐藏的路径带到艺术品的最前沿。作者讨论了这种可视化形式在视觉艺术新领域的上下文应用。
