TECHNICAL MEDITATION
explores the relationship between body, technology, and spiritual practice by translating meditation into an interactive and perceptual design system. It originates from reflections on contemporary modes of spiritual practice, informed by bodily experiences within a culturally ritualistic environment, and investigates how inner order and perception can be re-established within highly technologised contexts.
Through an interdisciplinary approach combining fashion design, wearable electronics, material experimentation, and computational processes, bodily data such as breath, gesture, and sound are translated into visual and structural systems. The garment is no longer a static object but a responsive interface that reacts to bodily states through changes in light, pattern, and form.Ultimately, the project constructs a wearable system that integrates perception, ritual, and technological logic, positioning clothing as a medium between internal spiritual states and external digital environments, and establishing new expressions between traditional contemplative practices and future technological conditions.

《观·适界》围绕“身体—技术—精神实践”的关系展开研究，将冥想行为转译为可感知、可交互的设计系统。设计起点源自对当代精神修行方式的思考，并结合来自家乡宗教氛围中的身体经验与仪式感，探讨人在高度技术化环境中如何重新建立内在秩序与感知连接。项目通过跨学科方法整合服装设计、可穿戴电子系统、材料实验与数字生成技术，将呼吸、手势与声音等身体数据转化为视觉与结构语言。服装不再作为静态物件，而是成为响应身体状态的动态界面，在光影、纹样与结构变化中形成实时反馈系统。项目最终构建出一套融合感知、仪式与技术逻辑的可穿戴系统，使服装成为连接内在精神状态与外部数字环境的媒介，并在传统精神实践与未来技术语境之间建立新的表达路径。

This stage focused on establishing the project's conceptual framework and research direction. Inspired by the religious and cultural atmosphere of my hometown, together with long-term observations of meditative practice, the project investigates how spiritual cultivation may evolve alongside technological development, proposing interactive garments as a medium to support meditative experiences.Research into contemporary artworks exploring spirituality, digital media, and ecological thinking informed the project, while a conceptual mind map translated ideas such as future meditation, digital nirvana, and interactive experiences into directions for garment structure, material development, and wearable interaction.
这一阶段围绕项目概念与研究方向展开。设计源于我成长环境中的宗教文化氛围，并结合长期对冥想实践的观察，思考科技发展背景下精神修行方式的未来可能，提出以交互式服装介入冥想体验的设计设想。围绕这一命题，我调研了融合精神性、数字媒介与生态观念的当代艺术实践，并通过思维导图梳理未来冥想、数字涅槃与交互体验等核心概念，将精神体验、身体行为与数字技术转化为后续服装结构、材料及交互设计的发展方向。
This stage focused on developing the interactive system, establishing a design framework through user research, interaction planning, and wearable technology. A questionnaire survey investigated the clothing preferences, functional needs, and acceptance of interactive garments among meditation practitioners, informing both the garment design and user experience.Building on this research, I analysed interactive art practices to develop responsive interaction scenarios and constructed an initial wearable electronic system. By integrating sensors, optical fibres, and an Arduino-based control system, the project explored the relationship between bodily movement, digital feedback, and garment interaction, laying the technical foundation for subsequent prototyping.
这一阶段围绕交互系统的建立展开，从用户需求、交互逻辑到硬件系统逐步构建设计框架。通过针对冥想实践者的问卷调研，分析其着装习惯、功能需求及对交互服装的接受度，并建立未来用户画像，为服装设计与交互体验提供依据。在此基础上，我结合交互艺术案例研究，规划服装对身体动作的响应逻辑，并完成可穿戴电子系统的初步搭建。通过传感器、导光纤维与 Arduino 控制系统的整合，探索身体动作、数字反馈与服装交互之间的连接方式，为后续原型开发奠定技术基础。
这一阶段围绕呼吸数据的可视化与服装形态生成展开。我搭建了由气流传感器、Arduino 与 TouchDesigner 组成的交互系统，将呼吸信号实时转化为动态粒子，并通过不同冥想姿态与呼吸节奏的测试，记录多样化的数据轨迹与视觉反馈。在此基础上，我将生成的粒子轨迹转译为三维几何形态，并导入 CLO 3D 进行服装模拟，使呼吸数据直接参与服装廓形的生成，探索身体、生理信息与数字服装之间的动态关系。
This stage focused on establishing the garment language. Structural elements derived from traditional sculptural drapery—including layered capes, hoods, asymmetrical shoulders, and flowing folds—were translated into contemporary silhouettes through draping, exploring how cultural references could be reinterpreted as modern garment structures.Building on this, the draped forms were integrated with the digitally generated geometries developed from breath data. Through digital collage and iterative sketch development, the project refined the relationship between traditional garment language and computational form generation, establishing the overall design direction for the collection.
这一阶段围绕服装语言的建立展开。我提取传统造像服饰中的披肩、兜帽、袒肩与层叠衣褶等结构特征，并结合立体裁剪实验，将其转译为具有当代性的服装廓形，探索文化符号在现代服装中的结构表达。在此基础上，我将立裁成果与前期由呼吸数据生成的数字形态进行整合，通过数码拼贴与设计推演，不断验证传统服饰语言与数字生成结构之间的融合关系，最终形成系列服装的整体设计方向。
这一阶段围绕色彩与光的交互系统展开。通过对自然光与情绪体验的研究，将冥想过程拆解为不同精神阶段，并建立“情绪—手势—色彩”的对应模型，将青绿、粉色与金黄色等光影语言转化为不同修行状态的视觉表达。在此基础上，我通过Arduino与传感器构建手势识别系统，使不同手印能够实时触发导光纤维的色彩变化，并验证其在可穿戴结构中的可行性。最终将光影反馈整合至服装设计中，通过色彩与发光路径的分布，为系列服装建立统一的视觉与能量系统。
This stage focused on sound-driven pattern generation and textile translation. Using meditation music as input data, TouchDesigner was employed to translate audio frequencies into dynamic lotus patterns, which were gradually refined into structures suitable for optical fibre layouts and embroidery-based wearable systems.Building on this, fabric blending tests and devoré experiments were conducted to materialise the digitally generated lotus frequency patterns into semi-transparent textile structures. Natural dyeing techniques were then applied to introduce a soft purple gradient, establishing a coherent material language between computational generation and physical textile processes.
这一阶段围绕声音驱动的纹样生成与面料转化展开。以冥想音乐为数据来源，通过TouchDesigner将音频频率转译为动态莲花图案，并逐步提取其结构，从数字纹样发展为适用于光纤排布与刺绣工艺的可穿戴视觉系统。在此基础上，结合面料混纺测试与烂花工艺实验，将数字生成的莲花频率纹样转化为半透明织物结构，并通过植物染色赋予其柔和的紫色渐变，从而在数字生成与物质工艺之间建立统一的材料表达体系。
This stage focused on the material testing of optical fibre textiles and the development of the final collection visuals. Based on the previously generated “sound–lotus” patterns, digital imagery was translated into wearable optical fibre textile prototypes, where devoré fabrics and embroidery techniques were combined to test the stability and light-emitting behaviour of the conductive structures under different lighting conditions.This material system was then applied to the development of the collection’s design visuals, integrating loose silhouettes, structural references from traditional sculptural forms, and light-based systems into a unified visual direction, establishing the pre-garment stage of the final design outcome.
这一阶段围绕光纤面料的实体测试与系列视觉效果图展开。基于前期“声音—莲花”生成纹样，我将数字图案转化为可穿戴光纤织物原型，并通过烂花面料与刺绣工艺的结合，验证导光结构在不同光照条件下的发光效果与稳定性。在此基础上，将该材料系统应用于系列服装效果图推演中，将宽松廓形、传统造像结构语言与光影装置整合为统一视觉方向，从而完成从材料实验到成衣设计前期的整体视觉确认。
This stage focused on fitting validation and the final visual refinement of the collection. Through live model fittings, the proportions, drape, and movement of oversized silhouettes, asymmetric capes, and layered constructions were tested, translating design concepts from visual representations into wearable garment prototypes.Industrial pattern drafting, toile development, and technical drawings were systemically integrated to define the structural logic and seam construction of complex deconstructed garments, with key construction points standardised for production clarity.
In parallel, a wearable electronic prototype was developed and tested, including optical fibre lighting systems, gesture sensors, and microcontroller circuits. These components were spatially integrated into the garment structure, establishing an internal interactive system framework that supports the development of the final smart wearable outcome.
这一阶段完成了核心款式的样衣试穿与系列视觉定型。通过真人试衣验证了大廓形结构、不对称披肩及层叠裁片在实际穿着中的比例关系与动态效果，使整体设计语言从效果图进一步落实为可穿着的成衣原型。在此基础上，将工业纸样、白坯立裁与结构线稿系统化整合，明确了复杂解构服装的裁片逻辑与缝合路径，并对关键结构点进行标准化标注，实现从设计到工程的转译。同时，完成可穿戴电子系统的原型验证，包括光纤发光模块、手势传感器与主控电路的连接测试，并将其与服装结构进行空间整合，建立起服装内部的交互系统布局，为最终智能服装的实现提供技术依据。
This stage focuses on jewellery and accessory systems, inspired by X-ray imagery of ancient Buddhist sculptures, where internal restoration structures and metal fixings are revealed. Extending the project’s earlier narrative of cyclicality and renewal, the work frames internal support systems as persistent temporal traces, exploring how materiality continuously circulates through repair, accumulation, and re-emergence.Based on this concept, nail-like structural elements were deconstructed and reconfigured through metal, 3D-printed resin, photoluminescent materials, and optical fibres. These experiments translate historical restoration traces into a luminous bodily accessory system, establishing a material language between structure and energy.Wearable and lighting tests demonstrate cyclical modes of appearance under changing light conditions, transforming structural repair elements into a wearable system of recurring illumination.
本阶段围绕首饰与配饰系统展开研究，灵感源自古代佛像X光影像中显现的内部修复结构与金属固定痕迹，并延续前期关于“轮回与再生”的设计语境。设计将内部支撑系统视为一种持续存在的时间性痕迹，探讨物质在修复、沉积与再显现过程中不断循环的状态。在此基础上，将“铁钉”作为结构原型进行解构与再设计，并结合金属、3D打印树脂、光致发光材料与导光光纤进行实验性重组，使其从历史修复痕迹转译为具有发光属性的身体配饰系统，在结构与能量之间建立新的材料语言。最终通过佩戴与光效测试，使配饰在明暗变化中呈现周期性显现的视觉状态，将修复结构转化为可穿戴的循环性发光装置。
