"I am my own result" poetry collection tape measure-Shen Shaomin pptx
"I am the result of my own" poetry collection tape measure is an innovative literary design fusion product. Taking the common tape measure in daily life as the carrier, this product is presented in a very simple and simple appearance, but it gives the tape measure a completely different function and connotation from the traditional meaning.
Unlike ordinary tape measures, which focus on practical measurement functions, this collection tape measure completely deconstructs physical measurement through design, reshaping the standard structure of measurement into a "poetic measurement". The scale on the tape measure bar is replaced by the verse in Shen Shaomin's complete collection of poems "I am the result of myself", giving the tool a new spiritual height. When users pull apart the ruler, they no longer read cold numbers, but read poems, measuring the world and everything in lines of philosophical and emotional words.
This design concept aims to break the traditional definition of tools and transform the tape measure from a rational tool for measuring data to a medium for literature, thought and emotion. It redefines the meaning of measurement, making the tools originally associated with length and precision a way of spiritual exploration-measurement is no longer limited to physical space, but goes deep into people's deep thinking about life, the world and self-knowledge.
"I am the result of my own" poetry collection tape measure is a unique experience product, which does not emphasize practical value, but provides a symbolic and spiritual experience through the combination of poetry and design. By poeticizing the daily tools, it evokes a new understanding of daily life and a high degree of thinking about the spiritual world. It transcends the boundaries of functionality and finds a new possibility for poetic expression.
This collection of poems "I am my own result" includes 81 poems written by artist Shen Shaomin. Artist Shen Shaomin is good at multi-field cross-media artistic creation, which covers poetry creation. These poetic works create a hidden line between reality and thought with simple and concise words, which is the artist's self-philosophical speculation, and at the same time a thought-provoking witticism.
Creative practice takes care of China's cultural and social reality, and often starts from the daily objects or habits that are common in Chinese society. For example, the design of the "I am my own result" poetry collection tape measure is not only for the rapid development of China's current society. The deconstruction and reconstruction of the tape measure, a tool commonly used in construction/engineering sites, is a discussion of Chinese social reality, people's daily life and spiritual world.
In the context of globalization, Chinese design faces the challenge of how to express local culture and integrate into the international context. The work shows the uniqueness of Chinese design language while seeking dialogue with other cultures, combined with international design trends, trying to express the depth of local culture in a universal form.
