The origin of today’s tea ceremony, “wabi-cha,” emerged as a counter-movement to extravagant tea parties hosted by social elites in the 15th century.

As used in the term “wabi-sabi,” wabi, referred to the loneliness of living in nature, remote from society. “Wabi-(sabi)” has found a place in Japanese aesthetics. In wabi-cha, the tea house was itself a medium to the affirmation of life through making tea.

Tai-an was designed for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, an extravagant military leader in Japan at the time, by tea master Sen no Rikyu. To deliver a tea ceremony for this particular powerful general, Rikyu designed the smallest hut, Tai-an. It was the size of 2 tatami mats (3.6 m^2).

In this collection, I studied the architectural designs of Tai-an. And then translated imaginary tea ceremonies within Tai-an & within code. The medium that was the tea house and the tea ceremony, is now served with generative instances of experience.

Wall gazing of Damo

By Jimi Wen

In my journey into generative art, not unlike Damo's crossing central Asia to China. The journey was full stimulation for my eyes, mind and heart. Just as Damo's sits, alone, in a cave near Shao-lin and meditate. I sit in front of my laptop reflecting my journey in generative art. I do not and can not code figuratively exact physical simulations with the digital. For me it is unforseen generative nature in gen art that intrigues me. I find unexpected results of letting code be as it is, rather letting it do exactly you say, a comfort moment of peace.

The makings of Ryoanji drop

By Jimi Wen

Ryoanji perhaps is one of the most interesting subject that I have thought about for a while. Ryoanji is subject that is the intersection of architecture, zen, composition, performance via chance operations. It encompassed what I have studied and created during fxhash beta, and is the most complete project I have produce to date.

jimi's fxhash beta dinner

By Jimi Wen

After creating my first 7 collections on fxhash beta, I needed a break. Not a break from creating, but a break from visual coding. I felt there was more to the artwork I couldn't code, or didn't clearly know what was just missing that tiny bit of expression maybe just a limitation of visual art. So decide to create a menu extending my first 7 collection in the 7 course dinner.
