碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系 === 100 === “Flying Script”, a study of flower-and-bird script based on Taiwan’s endemic species in the form of Art installation, draws inspiration from the traditional Chinese Flower-and-bird Script and seeks a new way to represent the Chinese culture. In Chinese culture, people use phoenix, Chinese dragon, orchid and various kinds of life forms/mythical creatures as symbols to represent positivity and joy. For embellishment and enhancement of the auspicious effects on special occasions, traditional Chinese Flower-and-bird Script uses those symbols as strokes to form the Chinese characters. The study and thesis project present how unique the traditional Chinese Culture that Taiwan preserves and develops in its own way. Based on the idea of “Language and Characters as the essence of the culture,” “Flying Script” uses the specific endemic species in Taiwan to create the Taiwanese Flower-and-bird Script and apply it to the interactive art installation. This thesis is divided into five parts: Chapter I introduces the background, motivation, interpretation of terms and the architecture of this research; Chapter II discusses related theories and concepts on traditional Chinese flower-and-bird script; Chapter III includes case study, design and analysis of the works by Taiwanese designers; Chapter IV presents the development of the project; Chapter V ends with the conclusion and suggestions. The aim of this study is to represent the traditional artwork in a new form.
