Meditating programmer. Perfomance.
A programmer practicing meditation with the help of mural painting in the ancient Chinese language, to achieve enlightenment and create new thought forms in the form of original and progressive code. Eight motherboards are preliminarily applied "ba gua" (eight trigrams) from the Classical Chinese Book of Changes ("Ijing"), which are ancient Chinese mantic-numerological graphemes, all possible pair combinations of which describe all possible variants of the development of events in the space-time continuum. Motherboards were located in the form of a circle, the creation of which is traditionally attributed to the legendary Chinese ancestor, the man-snake Fusi. The programmer is located to write the code in the center of this circle, between the trigrams Qian (Heaven) and Kun (Earth), which symbolically refers to the Great Triad: Heaven-Man-Earth. On the motherboards, the Chinese calligraphic half-record records the first part of the first chapter of the "Tao Te Ching", representing 24 hieroglyphs (3 on each board). The order of recording the text corresponds to the algorithm of trigram motion along Fuxi interpolating the sign of Taiji ("Great Limit") into the space of performative reality.
