Us 52 somethings try to explain to the coders how code from away back works. To study the "simple" Lion costume of China by way of... who really knows.... Indonesia?? is to witness how the vestiges of culture were and are codes to Nature. This relic, protected and sheltered by the Leung Family displays points to the mammal skull, and the function of theater, education and physical education. The "view holes" just next to the nostril, the spacing for whiskers, the spirals of the eyelids, the folds of the eyelashes and the cells of skin as they organize and sort themselves around the skull; these are throwbacks to anatomy known well by the people living in tune, in breath with mammal and the abstractions of the artists and athletes to uphold and preserve ceremony, ritual and dance; the Lion Dance.
