High Tech Low Use
Made in the absence of time and space constraints
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Cyberpunk and Decopunk. Retrowave serves as the central theme for my work and contributed a wide variety of visual aesthetics to inspire my creations. Collectively, they share the theme of “high tech, low life“. This became prominent since the 1980s. Often, the appearance of two different time periods are mixed in the same space, such as the Renaissance and the technological Internet juxtaposed, which creates a sense of contradiction and confusion.
PROJECT CONCEPT
Envisioning the future where technology becomes literally inseparable from the human body, my pieces fit close to the body and become an extension of one’s own skin. However, the irony is that the technological element in context is merely for visual appeal. The name of ”High Tech Low Use” is contradictory in itself, which appropriately defines the visually conflicting appearance.
