本展覽環繞著ClotCloth的現階段的技術成果展開,即材料本身、以該材料設計製作的衣物,也是在從零跨到一的實現ClotCloth過程中,完成了我對生物材料基耐水性織品的答題的技術。
這個展覽同時想展現技術與材料研究更廣的可能性、工藝手段創新能還如何,因此也有與過去已發展到一定程度的 3D Weaving、Shaped Cutting / Flowy Cutting 與ClotCloth技術混合的製成品。也想藉不同的技術共同陳列,揭示其中蘊含的關於解決問題的思考方式、背後的價值觀與其共同描繪的—對於我們文化的另一種想像。
展期中將在展間進行一部分無涉技術保密的製作(縫製展品為主),以一定程度向觀者揭示製作現場。既是想重提親身動手做開始探索的重要性。也因本項目始終工作量巨大又無法放下對完成度的要求,相較潦草地完成我更傾向在展期繼續推進度,或許部分的東西會始終保持的一種半成品的狀態(實際上,要能較理想的完成所有原定作品,或許會是展後一到兩個月)。因此,展覽會是越後期來訪內容越充實的狀態。
就此,本展覽可看作是在技術發展的過程中在剛從零跨到一後的那個切片。

This exhibition revolves around the current technological progress of ClotCloth, focusing on the material itself and the garment designed and made based on its materiality. It also represents a groundbreaking step in realising ClotCloth as my solution for bio-material-based water-resistant textiles. Simultaneously, the exhibition seeks to showcase broader possibilities within technical and material researches, as well as how crafts can evolve further through innovation. Exhibits include technical hybrids created by integrating ClotCloth with other previously developed approaches, such as 3D Weaving and Shaped Cutting / Flowy Cutting. By doing so, this exhibition also attempts to reveal the thought processes behind problem-solving, the values underpinning these innovations, and how these elements portray an alternative vision of our culture collectively.
During the exhibition, certain non-confidential parts of the production process will take place on-site (sewing exhibits mostly), this will provide viewers a glimpse into the production environment. Not only to r re-emphasises the importance of making with one’s own hands as a means of exploration, but also addresses the immense workload of the project. And in order to achieve a higher level of completeness under such circumstance, it’s preferable to continue the making progress during the exhibition period, rather than rushing to finish. As a result, some items may remain in a semi-finished state (in truth, achieving the ideal completion of all planned works could take an additional one to two months post-exhibition). Therefore, the exhibition will evolve, with its content becoming more enriched towards the later stages. In this sense, this exhibition can be seen as a documentation of the moment when technological development has just made the leap from zero to one.
