LOGO |
Artist: Frances (Yifan) Zhang
Translation: Human in the future - Posthuman Chinese Forum. Description: This logo should be read from top right, then down, then top left, then bottom left. It means future ( first column) human ( second column). This calligraphy type is called seal characters. They are one of the very ancient types of calligraphy because they look alike the real subject they represent. Back in the ancient times, when language firstly evolved, Chinese characters were basically mini drawings to represent reality. For example, the top left character means human and it looks like a person with their head and two legs attached. The small characters in the very left mean: "Posthuman Chinese Forum".
