GOODBYE TO THE BLIND EYES

Created by Da Ren Jiang and SYMBIO SOUND

GOODBYE TO THE BLIND EYES is a mythic, AI-hybrid pilot short film based on Da Ren’s real life, where his past romantic relationships with women across nations become symbolic figures in a larger cosmological narrative. Structured as a visual album, each chapter is driven by Da Ren’s own original music, transforming lived experiences of love, loss, desire, and awakening into cinematic myth. Set within the Da Ren SYMBIO SOUND universe—a contemporary, urban realm suspended between East and West—the film reimagines the story of Genesis, the cycle of karma, and rebirth & reincarnation through the fusion of Eastern and Western philosophy, mythology, and pop culture. Buddhist chants, echoes of Thriller, and multicultural voices coexist in a surreal world where the Jungian shadow, the fallen self, and the divine feminine guide a personal creation story. Blending AI imagery with memory and symbolism, the film reveals how music becomes revelations, relationships become archetypes, and human experience becomes the foundation of a new mythic universe—one that exists within the self.
