Description
The app presents a meditative, generative artwork inspired by Taoist principles and mindful movement practices. Its animated graphics and music create an ambient audiovisual environment for relaxation and appreciating novel geometrical patterns.
Wu Wei is a Taoist concept referring to 'action without action', and denotes the ability to act in an effortless, natural way. The app is a meditative, generative artwork based on this concept, as well as on the related movements of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. The app's slowly unfolding animated graphics and colors, as well as its music, provide an ambient audiovisual environment suitable for meditation, relaxation, and for the simple appreciation of its continually novel geometrical patterns.
