Chinese Character Studies

Chambers' sensitization to the Chinese Language (characters) led him to this study utilizing various Chinese characters as Flash movies. He views the characters not as a language, but as objects/subjects within their translated environment. These movies and still versions were presented as a part of the Digital/New Media Art Seminar at Zhaoqing University, Zhaoqing , China, 2005. (Scroll horizontally to view movies.)
