“The heart never has any fear; that is only in the mind. The mind will play all kinds of tricks on you and tell your ego the kind of stories it likes to hear to protect itself from the outside world. The ego will frighten you into thinking you must do this and that to protect your heart, that you must make sure everything outside of you is just-so to make sure you are safe, to manipulate the outside world and people so that your heart will always be safe. The first step is the dissolution of those stories and letting that fear fade away for your heart to truly be open and ready to purely love and to be loved purely.” -Trey Ratcliff

This Machine Elf collaboration brings together the generative fractal work of Trey Ratcliff and music composed by Tina Guo to form a visual meditation. In this first release from the series, a limited edition of only 20 videos, each has a variety of different characteristics. Because Tina created this music specifically for the heart chakra, each of the 20 pieces contains a different written “heart musings,” each of which are embedded into the videos at the end. Each of the 20 pieces have a unique rarity based upon the word content of these musings. Tina’s sound meditation became one of the mathematical waveform coefficients that fed into the generation of this fractal. You will notice it move and dance with her cello. Also, #20 of 20 is quite unique, as it is the only one that is rendered in 360, thus making it usable in VR.

This is the first of many Machine Elf collaborations and collectors of multiple artists will reap special benefits. See more about the project at www.the-machine-elf.com or join our fun discord at discord.gg/treyratcliff
