Looking at the development of human civilization, we experienced three important revolutionary time. The first Industry Revolution brings the steam engine which could instead of hand work. The second Industry Revolution invented electricity which enhance the efficiency of production.
Nowadays, we are experiencing the Third Revolution which is also called The Digital Revolution. The one of the greatest innovation is internet which contains the technique of using optical fiber to transmit the information.
Technology could solve more problem and issues. However, it brings more difficult questions and diseases.
For me, optical fiber is the media which could connect the invisible world to our reality. Indeed, when we are using WI-FI, the invisible fiber will trapped us. Those fibers twining around our body. It remind me to think about the tubes we used in the hospital.
When we are taking the medical treatment in the hospital, those tubes are important for us to get the medicine , nutrition or connecting to the medicine which our vessels have to rely on.
For me, Optical fiber is technology, medical tube is medical science and vessels is human beings.
When we are laying on the bed in the hospital, those tubes became the important tool for our life. It is getting through our body, our clothes and our skin. We need those tubes to be alive.
The way of twining is not logical. The goal of how to arrange those tubes is convenient and safe.
I took the inspiration from this kind of moment and the relationship between tube and our body. Knots and hand waving is a good way to combine tubes with fabric structures.
It contains a kind of beauty or aesthetic when IV bags and Infusion tubes are touching our body. At that moment, both of them became our second skin.
They broken the structure of the hospital gown and brings a new silhouette.
Technology could solve more problem and issues. However, it brings more difficult questions and diseases.
We are holding our phone every time and every where. We are activated on the social media but sometimes we feel about lonely. Because of Internet, We isolated ourselves from the real society. This kind of isolation lead to more psychological and biological problems to our body
When I was looking at the introduction of each disease, I tried to make them be more visualized which give me the inspiration about the silhouette of my garment.
