Canadian Artist Automates Chinese Calligraphy

Derived from the Greek word Kallos (beautiful) and graphe (writing), Calligraphy is the art of beautiful lettering - One that takes some practice and dedication. While in the Western world, such painstaking lettering is reserved for special occasions like weddings and graduations, in China , older men go through great lengths etching beautiful lettering on gravel roads using giant paint brushes and water - Only to see it disappear in a few minutes.
