 Wu Wei and the Void
Both "you wei" and "wu wei" are significantly different from void meditation in Zen.
Since, as you yourself mentioned, the visualization is still performed at the subconscious level even in "wu wei", the meditation is still in the phenomenal realm.
Zen meditation on the void leads outside of the phenomenal realm to the trancendental realm.

 Amazon.com: Ask the Awakened: the Negative Way: Books: Wei Wu Wei
First written in the mid-twentieth century by the anonymous Buddhist scholar Wei Wu Wei, Ask The Awakened: The Negative Way is a unique spiritual reinterpretation of ancient texts, incorporating Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and the teachings of Ramana Maharshi among other sources into a unique, powerful testimony that forces careful self-examination on the reader's part.
The identity of Wei Wu Wei was not revealed at the time of the publication of his first book.
From his anonymous viewpoint, Wei Wu Wei questions many of the established notions we have of Buddhist teachings, telling us that the path to enlightenment is extremely hard but definitely worthwhile.

 Wu wei (Non-Action) in Daoism
Unlike English, classical Chinese belief and knowledge contexts were not grammatically parallel constructions (i.e., like "believe that P" and "know that P").
Grammar textbooks call it the putative sense–"to deem, regard or interpret." Wei functions in this sense in belief ascriptions.
Wei is something done by humans rather than something "natural." This variant is particularly central in the Confucian text, The Xun Tzu, which contrasts the conventional dao handed down through tradition with natural behavior.

In ancient times we have the example of King Wu of the Chou dynasty in China, who carved a wooden image of his deceased father and placed it in a carriage, designating it as the general who would lead his troops into battle.
It is proper that we should first of all pay filial respect to our own father and mother, and only then extend the same kind of respect to the fathers and mothers of other people.
Heaven, moved by such conduct, lent him protection, and thus he succeeded in overthrowing his enemy, Chou, the ruler of the Yin dynasty.

 Wu wei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wu may be translated as not have; Wei (2nd tone) may be translated as do, act, serve as, govern.
In the original Taoist texts, wu wei is often associated with water and its yielding nature.

 Wu-Wei defined
To overcome these barriers we must ‘let go’ of the ego, and of our ‘conditioned selves,’ for it is only then that we can act with wu wei, which is to perceive and accept situations as they are, and respond to them in harmony with them.”
The water does not contrive to do this, nor to continue in its downward direction; in fact, by filling the space behind the stone, it may even ‘flow upwards in order to flow down.’ It does not contrive; it is incapable of contriving, and nor does nature contrive on behalf of water.
All of this is to say that water responds to its environment, and to act with wu wei, this is all we need to do.

 IRFWP News Pages: Wu Wei
Wu wei is a significant canon of the eastern practice of Taoism that involves achieving a certain wisdom of knowing when and when not to act.
It is said that when wu wei is mastered, a perfect equilibrium, or alignment, with the Tao is achieved creating an irresistible form of “soft and invisible power” over things (the self, others, one’s surroundings).
It’s literal translation is “without action” and is often included in the paradox wei wu wie, which means “action without action” or “action through inaction”.

 Wu-Weifarer's Daoist Quotes
Wu therefore has a sense which is eminently positive: it is the absence of any determination.
Wu wei is not so much a principle of utter passivity or "non-action" but the idea of a "natural," "purposeless," "playful," or "disinterested" mode of action set in distinction to the willful and socially structured "face work" emphasized within Confucian tradition.
On this occasion the Chinese, as Spinoza did, performed a reversal and showed that all determination (and therefore all affirmation) involves negation...
