Digital Veil is a project that started from my pursuit for new types of emotional design. Digital Veil is a result of my artistic investigation for the emotional source that drives people to be obsessed with plastic surgery around the world.
Throughout human history, people have always wanted to look more attractive. They played with fashion and makeup in order to create better looks conventionally. On top of this, the new wave of plastic surgery attracts those who always look for better and newer ways to satisfy their deep emotions and pursuit for aesthetics. Our reality is that people are choosing to have plastic surgeries because they want to create unexpectedness, more dramatic and gratifying looks as results. As plastic surgery became cheaper and its skills advanced to be more precise, people now take it for granted. From this experience of living within the era when having a surgery to look more beautiful, I started to look for alternative ways to help people to feel, look, and become more beautiful. I found a potential for my answer in the new creative media fashion. I believe that with its unlimited ways to manipulate how people view the world, or vice versa, the new interactive can suggest a new solution for meeting people’s needs for aesthetics.
Digital Veil provides a simple solution for better look, because it is easy to utilize. An LCD panel without its backlight is linked to a computer, which makes it easy and practical for people to enjoy its powerful effect. They can mix and match images they want from the computer, and project them with Digital Veil on their face. Digital Veil creates the desired look between the wearer’s face and the LCD. The LCD also has black and white animation feature, which makes Digital Veil more versatile. Speakers and a volume control are attached to Digital Veil, which adds to its versatility and attractiveness.
