01 RESEARCH SUMMARY – Abstract This project mainly explores the transformation of individual expression methods during the interaction between hands and writing tools. In traditional writing, people mainly express and present their personality and emotions directly through the physical movements of their hands, including gestures, movement trajectories, force and stroke forms. Based on the usage…
This project investigates how individuality shifts from the hand to the system in the process of writing. Through a series of visual experiments, I examine how the expressive capacity of gestures becomes reduced, and how personality is redistributed across different layers of digital input. [ Context Writing ] This project is located in the cross-disciplinary…

Negotiated Gestures How do writing technologies reshape the way the hand moves? Writing is often understood as a system of language. Yet before language appears, writing begins as a gesture. This project investigates how writing technologies shape, standardise, and abstract hand gestures across historical development, examining how the structural design of writing tools continually reshapes…
This project focuses on the historical evolution of writing technologies and systematically analyses how different writing tools shape hand gestures, and over time standardise and abstract writing movements. By comparing various writing technologies — including knot-recording systems, brush writing, quill pens, movable type, typewriters, and digital keyboards — the project traces the transformation of writing…
