TRACE REVERIE

"Trace Reverie" is a digital art experience that deeply integrates ancient Chinese astronomy and philosophy. Based on the concept of the "Two Instruments" system, it is presented in the form of a "spiral" and then integrated into the twenty-eight constellations of the sky and the concept of the "Four Symbols" drawn by the ancients, mapping the historical nodes of the universe onto the square spiral representing the "Four Symbols." As the music crescendos, a series of grand and epic cosmic narratives will unfold like a rising vortex. The viewer is immersed in it, and then it rotates and rises. In each spiral cycle, the viewer can see the subtle effects. This work is based on real-time interaction in local time, and the project is performed in four chapters with a cycle of 366 seconds (number of days in a leap year). The answer to the mystery runs through the 6-minute looping animation, requiring the audience to participate in piecing together the clues. In this way, we try to reveal the truth about the other side of the universe: everything follows laws, and the end is also the starting point.

This project is the second chapter in FYLB Digital Public Art creative Institution Trace Reverie series artwork. It combines Ancient Chinese astronomy and Chinese philosophy, analogizing the universe to a vast project with the twenty-eight constellations as its underlying code. Through art-therapeutic digital art interactive visual works, we allow viewers to find specific laws in the nested "systems" as inspiration for life, eliminate daily life's chaos, and achieve inner balance.
