Generating the Experience of Chinese Calligraphy from Bodily Engagements
Wushu is an infinite and collaboratively written “book” which intends to encourage and archive active participation in cursive calligraphy, while extending its scope as an art form. It engages the audience in generating ink strokes and inscrutable characters from motion and automatically “writes” them in the style of Chinese Cursive Calligraphy. The book serves as a compendium for the generated works and keeps expanding with the collective participation.
