  As a communication channel, body movements have been widely explored in
behavioral studies and kinesics. Performing and visual arts share the same
interests but focus on documenting and representing human body movements, such
as for dance notation and visual work creation. This paper investigates body
movements in oriental calligraphy and how to apply calligraphy principles to
stimulate and archive body movements. Through an artwork (Wushu), the authors
experiment with an interactive and generative approach to engage the audience's
bodily participation and archive the body movements as a compendium of
generated calligraphy. The audience assumes the role of both writers and
readers; creating ("writing") and appreciating ("reading") the generated
calligraphy becomes a cyclical process within this infinite "Book," which can
motivate further attention and discussions concerning Chinese characters and
calligraphy.
