New Dimension:Digital Fabrication Of Fibers

Today,at the intersection of art and technology,there is a flourishing trend among architecture,biology,fiber art,computer science,and digital fabrication:fiber morphology as its main research object,fabrication methods and expression methods are created through Digital Fabrication(Computer Aided Design(CAD)and Computer Aided Manufacturing(CAM)).This is a global trend that is gradually changing the rules of today’ s"visual games." However,there is still no specific term or concept to describe,interpret,and summarize this trend.From art criticism to interviews and even the creators themselves,there has not yet been a complete and systematic review of this trend.This article attempts to define,generalize and sort out the system contexts linked,grown and intertwined by "fibers" with "New Dimension-Digital Fabrication Of Fibers";analyze its knowledge background and theoretical framework,and explore the deep level that drives this trend’ s reason;it is summarized in many research practices and works of art,so as to expound the meaning of t Digital Fabrication of Fibers for today’ s Fiber Art,and the new definition of this era’ s function for this trend.In Chapter 1,"Fibers·Numbers·Information",we will trace the roots and systematically sort out the"knots" and"structures" of fibers:as the carrier of information,the aid and extension of memory,line and mathematics,and sequence and program.Application,in the genealogy of fiber archeology,the birth of the information age and the digital age.The second chapter,"Fibers·Codes·Models," is divided into two parts.The first part introduces the genealogy discussed in Chapter 1,the rise of the computer that was grown and constructed,and the birth of the network world,and then introduces complex systems The framework of theory and cybernetics;the second part will discuss the "new organism" formed by humans and computers,and people’ s new understanding of the use of computing performance and design strategies;the "line" gradually evolves to condense structural mechanics and parameters,The new entity of variables;and in the comparison of Deleuze’ s philosophy and parametric design,interpret the"woven model" of multiple bodies in virtual space.The third chapter,"Fiber·Emergence · Digital Fabrication",interprets the relationship between the scientific concept“Emergence”and fibers,threads,fabrics(and felts),and projects it on the realistic level as a“weaving model”((Including CAD and CAM),to discuss and analyze the important characteristics of"digital construction of fiber" and its changes to traditional construction methods and thinking.The fourth chapter,"Fiber·Weaver·Intertwined Domain",will analyze in depth from a vertical case of an artist,a university research institute,and a fashion clothing designer,and discuss the penetration and Metamorphosis,and its impact and change on visual arts.
