This is an interactive art based on text recognition and generation algorithms. It attempts to reconstruct the cultural function of traditional Miao silver jewelry as a carrier of protection and memory. As there was no written language, the ancestors of the Miao people often inscribed history on silver jewelry for protection. This device collects the wishes of contemporary people, retrieves traditional patterns from the database, and reconstructs them into unique digital 3D jewelry.
