Yu Yimeng-Hai Gu-Introduction to Works
There are bones in the sea, both hard and soft. Digital twin works sea bone takes artificial intelligence technology, parametric dynamic design and full-color resin 3D printing process as media, simulates the rapid changes of turbulence in the digital world, extracts perceptible forms from invisible flow tracks, constructs order with algorithms, translates the natural order in ocean rhythm into clothing structure, and then prints it through materials extracted from 50% environmental protection recycled marine garbage, make it a wearable art that is as soft as waves and as hard as bones, while making design part of the natural cycle, responding to the real issues of global marine ecology. The soft waves, the hard skeleton, the fractal order, the natural randomness, and the organic unity become the bones of the sea.
There are bones in the sea, both hard and soft. Digital twin works sea bone is divided into two parts: physical 3D printing clothing and digital 3D clothing. With artificial intelligence technology, parametric dynamic design and full-color resin 3D printing technology as the media, it simulates the rapid changes of turbulence in the digital world, extracts perceptible forms from invisible flow tracks, constructs order by algorithm, and translates the natural order in ocean rhythm into clothing structure, it is then printed from materials refined from 50% of environmentally friendly marine recycling waste, making it a wearable art that is both soft as waves and hard as bones. At the same time, the design becomes part of the natural cycle and responds to the realistic issues of global marine ecology. The soft waves, the hard skeleton, the fractal order, the natural randomness, and the organic unity become the bones of the sea.
Creative Practice:
Sea Bone is an experimental work of art that explores digital fashion, sustainable design and algorithms to reshape the natural order. It consists of two parts: physical 3D printed clothing and digital 3D clothing. Its core creative practice integrates cutting-edge processes such as artificial intelligence (AI) technology, parametric design, and full-color resin 3D printing to digitally simulate the flow trajectory of ocean turbulence and extract organic forms from it.
In the creation process, artificial intelligence is first used to design conceptual art and pattern texture in the early stage, and then parametric modeling and generative design are used to translate the fluid characteristics of ocean waves and turbulence into a clothing structure with fractal order, so that it not only has the aesthetic feeling of natural randomness, but also can ensure the feasibility of wearing through precise calculation.
In the physical clothing production part, the full-color resin 3D printing process is used to transform the virtual design into reality. In particular, the work uses 50% of environmentally friendly marine recycling garbage extraction materials for accurate 3D printing, so that the design not only stays at the level of artistic expression, but also the exploration of environmental protection and sustainability, the practice of process optimization and intelligent manufacturing.
The digital clothing part relies on augmented reality technology to build three-dimensional clothing that can be worn and displayed in virtual platforms such as the meta-universe, expand the possibility of digital fashion, and reduce the waste of resources in the production process of traditional clothing, and provide a sustainable solution for the future digital twin fashion form.
The relevance of the work to Chinese design, society, environment and culture:
1. Cultural Intention: Ocean Philosophy and the Way of Rigidity and Softness
The concept of "Sea Bone" is rooted in the "combination of strength and softness" in Chinese philosophy-the softness of waves and the hardness of bones coexist in nature and form a balance. This thinking echoes with the balance of yin and yang and the nature of Tao in Chinese traditional culture, making the work not only a fashion work, but also a philosophical metaphor. In addition, China has a tradition of "mountain and sea culture" since ancient times. The ocean is not only a link between trade and cultural exchanges, but also carries mythology, poetry and artistic intentions. The translation of marine intention into contemporary clothing through digital technology is not only a continuation of traditional culture, but also an exploration of future fashion forms.
2. Sustainable Development: Responding to China's Ecological and Social Issues
In recent years, China has become increasingly concerned about marine pollution, and the government has introduced a number of policies to political marine garbage and plastic pollution. "Sea Bone" directly responds to this environmental issue in material selection, using marine recycling waste as the core material, reflecting the social responsibility of design in the field of environmental protection, and promoting the application of environmental protection materials in an innovative way. This is also in line with China's "double carbon" goal (carbon rich, carbon neutral) sustainable fashion trend.
Digital Twins: Exploring the Future of Digital Fashion
China has developed rapidly in the fields of digital economy, artificial intelligence, and meta-universe this year. Virtual fashion, digital twin, 3D printing and other technologies have gradually become important trends in the local fashion industry. As a digital twin fashion design work, "Sea Bone" comprehensively covers artificial intelligence, digital design, and intelligent manufacturing technology, and explores the dual possibilities of future digital clothing in the virtual world and the real world.
