Floral Design + AR/XR: A Trans-disciplinary Floral Design with Augmented/Mixed Realities, Communication + Place (Journal)
Society of Experiential Graphic Design, 2023
Floral art utilizes plant materials and flowers to create a visually appealing and eye-catching composition or display. The earliest known flower arrangement proceeds to ancient Egypt. Egyptians decorated with flowers as early as 2,500 BCE1.The Gutenberg Bible in the 1450s is the earliest major book printed using mass-produced movable metal type in Europe. It adopted illustrated flowers to value the printed book’s high aesthetic and artistic quality. In the modern era, floral design professionally incorporates floral elements using line, form, space, texture, color, balance, proportion, rhythm, contrast, harmony, and unity. Floral Design + CODE with AR/XR reinterprets traditional art and floral design into a generative floral system. It employs mathematical expressions, computer algorithms, sound, and video libraries. It is a new visual language integrating computational floral art, textile design, type, typography, Interactive Art, augmented reality, and digital fabrication with floral elements. It allows the audience to experience immersive floral images using space, projection, and computer vision. This narrative conveys diversified visual messages inspired by nature, healing through arts, and exploring philosophical and religious interpretations regarding life, death, and love.This visual research suggests a new trans-disciplinary graphic art integrating floral elements and computer vision with physical computing and immersive space.
