Five tables surround a pagoda built of bamboo and rice paper. At each table a representative from a selected civil society organization leads an art activity related to the five elements of Chinese philosophy (metal, wood, water,fire, earth). Visitors draw ecographs from the dictionary relating to the five elements on the five walls of the pagoda, or invent their own.
From inside the pagoda the ecographs can be observed taking form. Like the boundaries between nature and culture, the walls of the pagoda are a place of information flow.
