I Found that the lifestyle and values of the Chinese younger generation have changed dramatically, Because of the digital age wave

The recent launch of Apple's Vision Pro and Dyson's headphones has sparked new hot topics, indicating significant changes in people's lifestyles and ways of interacting.

In my research, I found that in China, 2023 is a year of low prices, with various discounts being popular. It is also a year where people spend money freely. It will also be a year where people will spend money freely, and tours and performances will be popular.

So what influences young people's consumption?  I've made two charts based on the real <Young People's Spending Report 2023>.

# data[].attributes.body
Significant negative growth in young people's demand and spending on personal care and clothing.

And young people are more willing to pay in terms of providing emotional value and hobbies.

So I find that they are returning to the basic needs of life, with weaker materialism and lowerconsumer desires.

Instead, they are pursuing spiritual and emotional values and exploring new ideas.

In the early stages of the project I needed to research the figurative embodiment of visual arts in psychology, such as mandala paintings and to assist in the research of the historical presentation and help of semiotics in spirituality. Specific artist: Louise Despont.

I've sampled some concrete representations of different hertz sounds in everyday life.

And put in audio spectrograms.

#05 Raindrops - Full Frequency

# data[].attributes.body
#07 The sound of running water - Full Frequency

# data[].attributes.body
#08 Conversation - Mid Frequency

# data[].attributes.body
#09 Birds chirping - High Frequency

# data[].attributes.body
#10 Office sounds - Mid Frequency

# data[].attributes.body
#11 Music- Low and High Frequency

# data[].attributes.body
The impact of different hertz on the mind:

Low Frequency Area (20 Hz - 250 Hz):

20 Hz: Although this frequency is hard for the human ear to hear directly, it can be felt as vibrations, potentially inducing a sense of steadiness or unease.

60 Hz: The bass at this frequency can induce relaxation and comfort, often used in meditation music.

Mid Frequency Area (250 Hz - 4 kHz):

250 Hz: Sounds at this frequency are usually associated with warmth and fullness, helping to alleviate anxiety.

1 kHz: This frequency is very important for speech and can aid in improving communication clarity, thus reducing misunderstandings and tension.

High Frequency Area (4 kHz - 20 kHz):

4 kHz: This frequency is crucial for understanding the details of language, helping to enhance focus and concentration.

8 kHz: Higher frequencies enhance the sharpness and clarity of sounds, which can help in increasing alertness and reaction time.

16 kHz: High-frequency sounds close to the upper limit of human hearing can bring a sense of freshness and vitality to young people but may cause discomfort to the elderly.

I think the patterns may also be related to the design of the mandala pattern.

The garden environment's ambient sounds serve as the keynote for the entire piece of music, with nature's sounds forming the soul of the work. The wind stirs, leaves rustle delicately in the breeze, birds sing, and the gentle flow of water, these elements weave together into a vivid natural tapestry. They are more than just sounds; they are portals, leading listeners into a predefined and mystical space, making one feel as though they are in a serene Oriental garden, experiencing an unprecedented sense of immersion.

In this musical piece, the guzheng, as the main voice, flows like a gentle stream, clear and melodious. The guzheng, a traditional Chinese instrument, with its unique timbre and charm, becomes the leading voice of the entire music work. Its sound is not only crisp and pleasing but also carries a profound allure that can easily touch the listeners' hearts, transporting them into a peaceful and profound meditative state. Through the music of the guzheng, listeners seem to be able to converse with nature, encountering the tranquility and peace deep within themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece aims to create a poetic and serene space for listeners through the harmonious combination of authentic environmental sounds and the guzheng, making each listening experience a deep exploration of the self. In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it acts like a spring of water, bringing moments of peace and purification to the soul.

Visual Process

# data[].attributes.body
I created a basic mandala-like graphical design using TouchDesigner technology. Given the symmetry and geometric shapes characteristic of mandalas, I chose to generate the initial graphics through programming, then utilized parameter adjustments to achieve the symmetry and complexity of the designs. Dynamic elements were introduced through instancing and noise modifications, adding motion and visual effects to the mandala. For instance, by adjusting the intensity of noise in the music, the graphics emulate flowing and breathing effects.

# data[].attributes.body
By utilizing custom components, I plan to set the mandala graphics to respond to audio inputs, especially meditation music or natural sounds, such as the sound of flowing water, wind, etc., allowing the graphics' changes to synchronize with the audio rhythm. Thus, the changes in the graphics will synchronize with the audio, creating a multisensory meditation experience. The rhythm and intensity of the audio can influence the dynamic changes in the graphics, making the meditation process more engaging and immersive.

I've attempted to adjust the animation speed and frequency of changes to match the rhythm of tranquil meditation. The animation's changes should not be too fast, to avoid distracting the user, but rather slow and deliberate, to aid in focusing and relaxation.
