In particular, I took the active role as a fashion designer in many creative activities from practical garment to experimental fashion. With great passion in intelligent leading fashion associated with technological textiles, I completed PhD in 2012 and commenced my early career researcher in creation and exploration of the area between fashion design and smart technology through the medium of textiles at Heriot-Watt University in the UK. I have engaged in the projects of photovoltaic and fiber optic technologies in the world of innovative mood-changing clothing design, and wearable information system for Soldier Health Monitoring garment design.
STATEMENT OF ART:In accordance with the principles of good taste and the appreciation of beauty, aesthetics is the philosophy that is particularly possessed in art. As a vehicle for expressing or communicating the emotions and ideas, art is taken as knowledge or as action by using skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects or experiences. Artworks can be defined by purposes, created by limitless concepts and shared with others, as seen in creative art or fine art. However, skill is used to express the artist’s creativity, and engage with the audience’s aesthetic sensibilities.
Pursuing aesthetics and developing technology are perceived as two separate activities. For instance, an artistic designer may have no skill or knowledge of how to use technology; the scientist, on the other hand, does not understand why and how people judge beauty. The basis of the division between aesthetics and technology is because art designers are driven by aesthetics, senses and trends, whereas scientists are driven by functionality, efficiency and invention. The two domains need to be brought together, to bridge the division between aesthetics and technology because whenever technology signifies change, fashion realizes this change, and vice versa. When high-tech meets high-fashion, every design ought to incorporate practical functions and features as well as having a fine and fashionable look.
In the era of interdisciplinary research, smart clothes and wearable technology is at the forefront of innovation to interpret the new meaning of Art and Design.
