Neo Nuo Chen
Project Description
Digital Fashion Runway Show: Neo-Metamorphosis is a thesis work done by Neo Nuo Chen. With the use of the 3D image-based photogrammetry technique, he captured physically handmade origami and turned them into digital replicas. In the 3D software digital space, he then draped the origami onto the digital body, to create a digital fashion runway show that presents a dynamic visual experience. This video formatted, origami-inspired futuristic fashion runway show aims to explore digital fashion and stimulate the emergence of artistic inspiration. Neo-Metamorphosis provides an innovative perspective of fashion design, it also emphasizes the transformation between physical and digital materiality through the use of photogrammetry technique and 3D software. For the audience, seeing the digital body wearing digitized origami in a runway show creates a visual hallucination and triggers their curiosity in digital space.
