Cyborg Rainbow Jewellery

Informed by philosophers like Rosi Braidotti and Donna Haraway, this project utilizes Cyborg and Cyber-punk elements in pop culture to construct this super surreal series. With a flexible adoption of industrial manufactured materials, the pieces in this project is completely constructed by interchangeable parts, that allows the wearers to replace and even remake the jewellery using all those spare "chips and bars". This collection intends to construct a context in which the wearer can experience a fantasy post human future to break the perception traditionally of gender and identity.

Ms Dian Chen graduated from MA Jewellery Design in Central Saint Martins UAL, and now working as an independent jewellery artist in London. She uses conceptual jewellery and other body-linked objects as her primary media to explore the role of jewellery in the body-outside dynamic world relationship. Materializing bold imaginations, Chen gives a thoughtful debate about the topics of posthumanism, feminism, LGBTQ movements, identity and gender equality. In 2017, She established her own brand – Ddesign in a vision of combining conceptual jewellery with business publicity. In 2019, Her graduation project “Queer Beard & Cyborg Rainbow” was acquired by Central Saint Martins Museum for permanent collection.

Informed by philosophers like Rosi Braidotti and Donna Haraway, Dian developed a deep interest in approaching gender identity issues through the concepts of the cyborg, cyber-punk and science fictions in pop culture to construct the super surreal series to discuss the question of fluidity of gender and identity in post-human age. Most importantly, this series is a participatory piece which basic frames and interchangeable spare-parts are manufactured using industrial materials, that allows the wearers to replace and even remake the jewellery using all those spare "chips and bars". In this process of self-controlled changing and overall infinity of possibilities, Wires, plates, and bars have their imaginative logic in combination. She try to construct a fantasy of cyborg and post human future to break the perception traditionally of gender and identity.
