Genesis Color

Genesis Color is a 3D moving image artwork by Liao Yibai. Exploring three-dimensional spaces, Yibai delivers a narrative throughout the collection, speculating about the connection between human and machine, and physical and virtual reality.


"What is even more difficult to fathom is that the universe has colours. Even the smallest particles, colours can be attached to the surface of objects, and can also be empty enough to travel along with light. With the increase of GPU computing power, people can gradually increase the random value behind the array of regular data. This is the beginning of the colour calculation. In the virtual world created by human beings, the colour starts to become iridescent.

Light can be manipulated by humans in a certain time segment or a corner of space. People are born self-centred. With the skills of manipulating light with time and space, truth is often hidden in the shadows.
So, all the chaos that follows stems from the struggle between human beings and their selfish self, that is, the choice between the truth and the illusion.
The darkest space is often the closest to the truth. However, the colours of the illusion are so irresistible, as humans are often blind by its beauty.
What is the real colour?
What is your favourite colour? The colour that shakes your core? Deep down, the eccentric colours that bring you joy.
The charm of colour is that it is neutral and has no tendency. Truth can be hidden in the simplest colours, as venom in the most vibrant.
People always think that they have tamed the light. But colours hide in the light, lurk in shadows, tormenting humans each and every day.
No matter how frustrating reality is, we still have to look for the light of truth, Giotto di Bondone tried, James Turrell tried, Dan Flavin tried, Olafur Eliasson tried, Maxim Zhestkov tried, and now I try too."
-Liao Yibai
