Shades of Blue by Yanzhu Lin
Published: 29.07.2024
In the era of social media, where digital imagery reigns supreme, I'd like to explore the possibilities of merging the digital and tangible within the post-internet landscape. This project aims to discuss the beauty of mundane moments captured through the lens of analog cameras.
It's a collection of imitation gemstones produced by Polyjet, one of the most advanced 3D printing technologies today. The design was inspired by a common technique in gemstone treatments: foiling. Instead of using a sheet of foil, I chose to use photography. The deliberate choice of analog photography as the medium for capturing these moments is intentional, representing a departure from the instant gratification and perfectionism often associated with digital imagery.
Through this project, I seek to challenge the notion of what constitutes valuable memory in a society increasingly obsessed with the digital ephemeral. By immortalising these analog photographs within wearable art, I aim to bridge the gap between the tangible and the digital, inviting contemplation on the nature of memory and its preservation in an everchanging technological landscape.
