The value of pi symbolizes the limits of reason and science, while the chanting and circumambulation performed by the monks carry a sense of religious devotion and mystique. The courtroom, as a power institution, and the signal tower, as a symbol of the information age, together construct the “faith coordinates” of contemporary people.

In the video, five monks carry out a special ritual, performing a series of acts such as reciting pi in the courtroom, walking around the signal tower, and releasing tables and chairs. Through organizing and filming this dramatic event, Wang Changcheng weaves these “faith coordinates” together, presenting the complex and subtle interplay between science, religion, and social authority institutions.
