Info-Browser

“Pattern Design from Ancient Emperors for Modern Women” is a project I started during sabbatical in spring 2013. Amazed by the beauty and richness of ancient Chinese decorative patterns, I decided to update and renew them back for modern life. I experimented with various ways to modernize and simplify shape and format, yet keep solid and classic composition.

In fall 2013, I designed a new interactive-media work, An Info-Browser, applying the KINECT technique to interactive design, to introduce design ideas and cultural background behind my pattern, fabric and bag design project.

This project was sponsored by USI College of Liberal Arts Faculty Research Award.
