Cyber Folklore

by Zhiyan on 30 Apr 2023 for Rookie Awards 2023

I have always been deeply fascinated by the combination of cyber and folk culture themes. I'm inspired by celestial beings, processions of gods, ritual masks, and Miao costumes. My 3D art preserves and innovates these rich cultural elements as a form of "cyber" inheritance.

I have always been deeply fascinated by the combination of cyber and folk culture themes. From the celestial beings of Dunhuang, the procession of gods in southern Fujian, the ritual masks of western Hunan, the elaborate costumes of the Miao people, to the poetry – these mysterious, splendid, and time-honored cultural elements never fail to inspire and fuel my creative passion. In my view, preserving and innovating these cultural elements through unique 3D artworks is a form of "cyber" inheritance.

My Series"Cyber Folklore" encapsulates the fusion of cyber and folk culture, transforming age-old cultural elements into innovative 3D art. This artistic approach not only celebrates tradition but also ensures its "cyber" legacy for future generations to appreciate and explore.

To create more realistic Miao clothing patterns and intricate Zhong Kui masks, I visited villages and museums in Fujian, Hunan, and other regions. I captured numerous photographs and meticulously hand-painted them as textures for the models, resulting in a vivid and engaging digital art piece.
