This work involves bodily engagement of audience. I think it uses flash actionscript to program the motion tracking system and also the word database system. With help of a top-down motion tracking system, audiences movement is represented by the Chinese words in the screen and their active participation will create or destroy the word phase relationship in Chinese language. Additional to the combinatorial autonomy of the system in phase-making, audiences independence to move is critical in this work.

The same word can always be combined with many other words to form expressions of totally different meanings.”
