This artwork is Baiwei's personal take on Daoist philosophy and the Universe of constant change, compacted into an audio-visual "trip". The flow of matter, as well as the synchronized music, are kept in a simple, natural style. 

The music was created specifically for this artwork.

1280x800px, 11fps animation, 245 layers and 9483 strokes, monoline brush on iPadPro/Procreate.

DMT / Daoist Musical Trip

Energy bundle
Dancing through the tides of life
Looped, experiencing

The artwork explores the concept of identity on a personal level. Artist’s identity is shown as an animated specimen. This energy bundle is struggling to find and express itself within the limited space - connecting, reflecting, dancing, fighting to escape, and eventually embracing itself. The identity finds balance and transcends the limits.

The loop of life begins again.

Music by Baiwei.
Inspired by Daoist dualist thought.

Foundation of Universe

Collaboration between ARC4G and baiwei.

An isolated element "Selphy" is injected into an experimental Amplified Reality Cube, also known as the "ARC". The incubated specimen symbolically undergoes the experience of existence, following the laws and music of given reality. With the achievement of metaphorical (and literal) breakthrough, the element transcends into a parallel ARC - the realm of mind and spirit. There, the concept of ego collapses revealing Selphy’s essential form. Awakened to the ultimate truth that "the journey is what matters", Selphy bends time and space to experience existence once more.

Selphy pronounced as "self - I" associates with the concept of ego; thus its journey implies a process of self-awakening.

The background music created by baiwei is also encrypted with Chinese calligraphy for "self-awakening".
