Minted by the artist.
Jimi Wen is an artist who transforms traditional Chinese calligraphy and the profound symbolism of 易经 (I Ching) and 河图 (Hetu) into modern generative art, gen-art fashion, and immersive theatre. His philosophy, "思無字" (Si Wu Zi), explores the interplay between symbols (字), thought (意), and meaning (文), fostering endless cycles of reinterpretation. Through visual art, poetry, and technology, Wen creates experiences that embody the transformative essence of I Ching, showcasing art as a dynamic process where hidden meanings emerge and evolve, reflecting perpetual creativity and interconnectedness.
This artwork is part of Jimi Wen's collection (易经待续) that delves into the I Ching (易经) through generative art, where the Hetu (河图) coordinate system plays an essential role in the codification process, akin to the traditional 卜卦 (divination) method. The generated piece by chance, #482, reveals 澤火革 (Zé Huǒ Gé)—a hexagram symbolizing transformation and renewal. The rare palette of soft purples and blues, reminiscent of 白露 (White Dew) from the 二十四节气 (Solar Terms), enriches the piece with layers of symbolic meaning. These colors, paired with layered geometric forms, create depth and motion, visually capturing the tension between upheaval and new beginnings. The interplay of translucent shapes hints at hidden complexities and latent potential, echoing the I Ching’s themes of cyclical reinterpretation and perpetual evolution.
This work is the exploration of ICHING 易经, in generative arts. ICHING, by nature are expressions of chance operations that is infinite descriptive of the world in compact syntax and grammar. We explore together, visually and intuitively, the aesthetics arising from an ancient Chinese coordinate system, Hetu 河图, both as a mechanism, constraint, yet open to interpretation. Your Gua 卦 is hidden beneath the beauty.
