About Cyborg Rainbow Gioielli
Ispirato dalle filosofe Rosi Braidotti e Donna Haraway, questo progetto utilizza elementi Cyborg e Cyber-punk della cultura pop per costruire questa serie super surreale. Grazie all'adozione flessibile di materiali di produzione industriale, i pezzi di questo progetto sono interamente realizzati con parti intercambiabili, che consentono a chi li indossa di sostituire e persino ricreare i gioielli utilizzando tutti questi "chips and bars" di ricambio. Questa collezione intende costruire un contesto in cui chi indossa i gioielli può sperimentare un futuro post-umano fantastico per rompere la percezione tradizionale di genere e identità.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This project is a participatory piece which basic frames and interchangeable spare-parts are manufactured using industrial materials, like aluminum, acrylic, stainless steel. That allows the wearers to replace and even remake the jewellery using all those spare "chips and bars". In this process of self-controlled changing and overall infinity of possibilities, Dian intends to construct a context in which the wearer can, not only wear but can also participate and experience a fluid relationship between body, objects, and identity. It now a materialized imagination, it might be material experience in an expectable future.

- Design Challenge
- The main challenge in her project is to materialize cyborg and posthuman theories not only in the "object" that she designed but how it can create an ongoing and firsthand experience to her customers.
- Research
- Dian combined desktop research and practice as research in her project. Particularly, theories about Post-humanism and themes of science fiction and pop-culture were studied, then she embody her research enquiries in her design practice and the final product as a materialized exploration of cyborg theory that she researched.
- Inspiration
- Informed by philosophers like Rosi Braidotti and Donna Haraway, Dian developed a deep interest in approaching gender identity issues through the concepts of the post-humanism, cyborg, cyber-punk and science fictions in pop culture to construct the super surreal series to discuss the question of fluidity of gender and identity in post-human age.
