"Decoding • Encoding" – an exploration of data narrative in Tibetan characters

Tibetan, as a communicative tool of the Tibetan people, it has a long history second only to Chinese in China. Tibetan is a beautiful and expressive language. It is difficult for us to come into contact with this ancient and mysterious writing in our daily life. How can we overcome the time-space distance and language barriers to establish cultural communication in the ever-changing modern society? This is the research background of our project. We created an interactive website, which driven by data narrative visualization and interactive experience, foucs on Tibetan characters. We tried to decode Tibetan artifacts, the writing patterns of Tibetan calligraphy and Tibetan poetry by data, reconstructing our understanding of the Tibetan culture, promoting and improving the mutual connection between different cultures.
