Concept


The topic of "augmented reality" and "digital design of traditional Chinese painting" as the main body of research, aiming to innovate the viewing experience of traditional Chinese painting art through augmented reality technology, and explore the cultural significance of traditional Chinese painting in contemporary society. As "Ladies Wearing Flowers" is a classic painting, this design is based on "Ladies Wearing Flowers" and augmented reality technology, focusing on historical and cultural factors, and integrating the concept of time and space into the scene design, so as to better realize the digital presentation of "Ladies Wearing Flowers" in today's society. By adding the spatiotemporal elements of cross-narrative and interactive design, this ancient painting is connected with the society in different time periods, and presented in the real scene, allowing the audience to feel and interact through mobile phones and other mobile devices, and reflect on the relationship between their own environment, the physical environment of the painting and the changes of The Times. As a whole, The New Language of Hairdressing Flowers is a recontextualization of painting through augmented reality. The design is not only a digital innovation of traditional ancient paintings, but also a reflection on art, time and society, and an experiment on the "cultural value of post-digital society" of traditional paintings.

As a space to accommodate human beings and their activities, painting interweaves multiple and complex interrelationships among human beings, nature and society. The women in "Ladies Wearing Flowers" were stereotyped at the historical moment of Tang Dynasty and imagined to be the objects of gaze of outsiders. However, by transcending the time and space of the original, the temporal meaning of the picture can be repeated and revised in the future. "Hair-flower New Language" takes the female image of the original painting as a carrier to reflect the complexity and diversity of society and culture, and reflects the space-time elements from tradition to contemporary, from the past to the present.
