That pattern of our subconsciousness !

I love patterns! One of the core aesthetic of my artwork is pattern visualisation. I study I-Ching for over 10 years. And I notice there is a very interesting pattern goes on with some repeated keywords.

RUCHU AR is an AR artwork (27min) that displays the full text of the I-Ching as the visual base. Then by means of the frequency of the repeated words, I want to study how the hidden patterns of the Chinese classic relates to the origin of our culture.

I-Ching has in total 4152 Chinese characters. A cursor will run from top left to bottom right. When the cursor hits any word/ or phrase that frequently repeating itself in the whole text, the same word/ or phrase (All) will translate into English and speak in English by the computer. For example, “无咎” will become “NO REGRET”, “吉” will become “GOOD”, “凶” will become “BAD”…etc. The cursor will loop the whole text again and again likes a curse. It’s like a hypnosis with the I-Ching’s pattern analysis.

“RuChu AR” is selected by “Peer to Peer UK/HK” online exhibition in 2020.
