Wu Wei is a Taoist concept referring to 'action without action', and denotes the ability to act in an effortless, natural way. The app is a meditative, generative artwork based on this concept, as well as on the related movements of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. The app's slowly unfolding animated graphics and colors, as well as its music, provide an ambient audiovisual environment suitable for meditation, relaxation, and for the simple appreciation of its continually novel geometrical patterns. - Double-tap to save your favorite patterns as screenshots to your photo roll. - Choose a favorite background color and let it remain constant. - Music volume control (can be set to zero if you prefer to enjoy the graphics in silence).
