"Being Mondrian" is a public installation aimed for interactive drawing utilizing a novel tangible interface. Abstract painting has been conceived as a monopoly permitted to professional artists with special techniques. However, at the same time, such art works are so apparently simple that ordinary people dare to think to simulate them. To substantiate the dream of being an artist, we proposed a set of interactive drawing system composed of "Drawing Kit" and "Mondrian Stage". People can draw black lines and colored rectangles generated by the intersection of the lines as they put the Kit, the tangible interface, on the Stage which plays a role as both a functional and a representational space. Through this interactive drawing system, we did not intend to let people to merely copy Mondrian's masterpiece, but create their own digital artworks.
