Abstract

The current dataset is associated with the Open Access publication “On 'Sounds of Ink: Luo Qi and Thirty Years of Calligraphyism' Exhibition: A Journey through Eight Thousand Verses, Silent Melodies and Sound Images” / “水墨的声音：洛齐与三十年的书法主义”展览 在《八千颂歌》、《无声之歌》和《声音的图像》之间漫步”, in A. Iezzi (ed.) “Sounds of Ink: Lou Qi and 30 Years of Calligraphyism / 水墨的声音—洛齐与书法主义30年”, 2025, Bologna: Bologna University Press). It collects the metadata descriptions of the main artworks analyzed in the publication as formalized in the “WRITE digital archive”, that is the semantic web digital archive of the WRITE project (G.A. 949645). Among them, one file contains the metadata related to the author of these artworks (Luo Qi), and the other three contain the metadata related to the artwork(s) itself, their Calli-Writing Unit(s) (CWU – artwork content unit with calligraphic features), the series they belong to and the exhibitions where they were exhibited. The artworks were selected from a large number of works included in the archive as those displayed in the exhibition “Sounds of Ink: Lou Qi and 30 Years of Calligraphyism” that is the core of the whole book. The dataset also includes the transcription of the artist’s interview and the document “关于《福洛寿》作品” sent by the artist (20.03.2019) cited in the publication.
