Traditional Chinese Calligraphy, Shufa书法, articulates the physical writing of ink on paper using brushes. It is a deeply material-based practice that also transcends beyond art, to a core philosophy of Chinese culture, recognized by UNESCO (2009). It is a tangible practice with an intangible cultural heritage - a lineage spanning millennia. Our research aims to extend this practice further, from a material-based art into a digital form of media dissemination. Retaining the core values of Shufa书法, these are referred to as geist (spirit) in the West and represented by yi(意, intent) in Chinese [Shi 2019]. Instead of using ink and brush, the physical tools articulating a two-dimensional practice, we investigate how three-dimensional calligraphy can be written in VR space.
