There’s a saying in China: “Show me your handwriting and I know who you are.”
Writing Chinese characters, stroke by stroke—this is a source of fascination that electronically generated scripts or symbols can’t even come close to achieving. Sand Letter and its appurtenant app transform the installation visitor’s handwriting into a calligraphic line in the sand drawn by smart hardware. Even over a considerable distance in the sand, similar brush strokes and styles of forming characters can be represented.
