Meditation in Motion

Abstract

Tai Chi is an essential concept of Chinese philosophy which refers to the universe’s most primitive state of order. Tai Chi Chuan is a martial art and meditative practice that incorporates the Tai Chi philosophy. With the advent of the digital media age, this traditional martial art is falling into disuse, and most contemporary youths are losing interest. “Meditation in Motion” is an interactive media art installation inspired by the Tai Chi Chuan forms. It aims to convey the central concepts of balance, narrative, and universe of Tai Chi Chuan by breaking down its movements into overlapping circles, building a visual representation of the energy flows in the body.
