If you wanna be Kongzi, you’re at the right place! This installation fulfills your dream of becoming Kongzi and his students.

The camera will detect your face first, and the computer will apply the image and dialog around your face to make it interesting and fun! The content of conversations are from ‘The Analects of Kongzi (Lun Yu)’, one of top classic of Chinese Han Shue and literature, including the most essential concepts and ideas from Kongzi. This book has been praised by many emperors of ancient Chinese Dynasty, and therefore is widely studied in China and East Asia for almost 2000 years. ‘The Analects of Kongzi (Lun Yu)’ continues to influence people of their values today.

Chinese Characters are famous for their complicated but beautiful structure and confusing stroke orders. Especially in Zhou Dynasty, when Han Shue began to develop, they used ‘Da Zhuan’ (also called ‘Large Seal script’ or ‘Great Seal script’) to write. ‘Da Zhuan’ is one of the most complex character format since most words are composed by signs and images. With rounded, seal-script-like style, it is different from the characters we use nowaday and is comparatively artistic.</p> <p>With this installation, you can figure out more about ‘Da Zhuan’ by controlling the bluetoothed joystick, following the instruction on the screen and carefully write down your first and ever ancient Chinese ‘square word’!
