Radical 9
Since 2017
Mixed media, Installation, Workshop

Radical 9 is the "Ren" part of the Chinese radica system, which refers to human behavior and is written in three forms: "亻", "人", and "𠆢".

In this work, I propose an interactive writing project, inviting the public to write down words with the "Radical 9" and send back in images.

Since 2017, l have started to collect the sample of "Radical 9" from the public, exploring what is presented in the spectrum of human radical. The public are also invited to engrave these characters on clay seals as a behavioral record of this contemporary "archeological artifact"

Starting in 2021, the collected characters are learned by machine and generated.
