This is the first chapter of a sensory experiment that starts from real feelings, presenting a multi-dimensional and repetitive momentary state by means of the decomposition and interplay of all frequencies in space. It does not simply rely on digital models and pictorial language, but on the uncertainty of life to embrace a new reality of the desert. In the repetitive movement of virtual and physical space, the subject will no longer exist. The space of the future is already dominant in people's daily lives, as the creator Muxingye himself experiences: "I am gradually adapting to the fullness that the online world gives me; instead, relationships in the real world exist as mere necessities to fulfill a specific function." In effect, the space of activity of the subject is compressed into the information, and here it can also be said that the subject becomes passive and the information becomes frequency. In a closed space (physically and psychologically closed), there is no longer a clear-cut relationship between objects; light and shadow, movement and stillness, words and ideas are broken down and reshaped in a holistic relationship, as they become subdivided pixel dots and code-editing breaths, forming a living field between a multitude of free-moving individuals. The nomadic nature of the work unfolds and extends here, with its duality of the imaginary and the real, symbolizing Muxingye's nomadic state in post-modern society, repetition in difference, and freedom in frequency.

物无非彼，物无非是。自彼则不见，自知则知之。故曰：彼出于是，是亦因彼。彼是，方生之说也。虽然，方生方死，方死方生；方可方不可，方不可方可；因是因非，因非因是。 There is nothing that is not a "that"; there is nothing that is not a "this." One cannot see oneself as a "that," but if one knows oneself, one knows what it is to be another. That is why it is said, "That arises from this, and this also relies on a that." This is the explanation of how this and that are born in the same instant.
