Manifesto.AR: Augmented Reality Embedded Accessories
Keywords: Modular, Social media impact
Manifesto Alfa: Fashion as us.Fashion shall not be led by brands, but by the people. Modularization enables Manifesto.AR to be inclusive and innovative.
Manifesto Beta: Fashion is not dead, it is evolving. With augmented reality technology, textiles can be fabricated by physical threads with digital code, transforming fashion into a digital-tangible interface that outlasts the physical.
Manifesto Gamma: Fashion is liberty. Patterns inspired by decaying yet busy streets, as well as graffiti and advertising marks on walls, reflect stories of cultural inclusion and community experience.
“Augmented Manifesto”
The soft voicing is immersive
What if online social media flood offline?
The project is to observe and reflect on how social media impacts communities and individuals through offline formats. Instantly, those routine online social media behaviors and comments become funny, ironic, and thought-provoking.
Online social media: "Shadow" created by augmented reality technology demonstrates the influence of social media on individuals and collectives. An immersive experience is facilitated by projecting the animation of online behavior onto physical objects.
Offline social media: The texture of physical parts was inspired by the observation of graffiti from streets where ideas and messages of cultural collision interweaved.
影AR: “Shadow” of Social Media
#1 Questioning
#2 Closed Meeting
#3 Freestyle Doodling
#4 Bullet Chatting (Danm, 弹幕)
#5 Burn After Reading (“Demolish” the Conversation)
#6 Stamps on Stamps (eg: Advertising/ Emoji/Slogan…)
#7 Fluctuate in opinion, to vacillate irresolutely between choices: allegiance, or direction.
#8 Strikethrough
Left ear: (#4) Got bullet chatting (弹幕, Danm) from other users
Right ear: (#5) Burn after reading (“拆, Demolish” the Conversation)
The red-circled word "拆, Demolish" means that the buildings related to this facade will be demolished soon without any room for negotiation. Usually due to urban construction, railway planning, or route changes…, it needs to pass through here.
Left ear: (#1) Questioning about the content
Right ear: (#2) Set up a closed meeting
Left ear: (#6) Stamps on stamps responding (eg: Advertising/ Emoji/Slogan…) to others’ comments/ invitations/ creations
Right ear: (#7) Actually fluctuating in opinion as a wavering respondent
Earring becomes a lightweight portable digital-tangible interface with the help of Augmented Reality technique, transcending the lifespan of fashion.
