E-Ren Shi | Fruit DJ

This project proposes an innovative instrument design merging mechanical utensils with fruits. Through electromagnetic actuators, linkage mechanisms, and Arduino-based sensing, it generates an interactive musical experience. The design adopts fusion jazz as its core genre, with plans to simulate digital audio workflows via open-source hardware prototyping.

"E-Persona Feast" envisions a vibrant fruit carnival where dining becomes a rhythmic spectacle. In this "E-Ren Shi" experience, utensils and fruits transform into musical instruments, orchestrating an improvisational soundscape.

Each interaction is a sonic adventure: slicing watermelon might cue the main melody, while shaking spice bottles emulates DJing. Mechanical tools and fruit loops synchronize to craft rhythms—from laid-back grooves to euphoric beats—mirroring the exuberant yet whimsical spirit of E-personalities.

E-Ren Shi | More than a fruit party, it’s a musical revelry where every bite hits the beat!

Individual work

Despite rapid advancements in technology, gender discrimination persists, especially in the male-dominated media industry. Media often evaluates women on narrow criteria, focusing excessively on their appearance and linking their value to youth and beauty. This leads to issues like anxiety, self-objectification, and other mental health problems. Advertising further exacerbates this by promoting a singular beauty standard, pushing women towards continuous consumption of beauty products.

In response, I designed a device that satirizes this societal issue. It operates with biases akin to those prevalent in media, making no judgments about men but critically assessing women on their appearance and body metrics, including weight, facial features, age, and dress. The device concludes by printing recommendations for beauty products and suggestions.

After completing the device, I stood on the pressure sensor to experience the process myself. I feel that the text on these receipts, along with the entire setup, is like a cage and a trap, deeply imprisoning me and many other women.The phenomenon I have uncovered has had a widespread impact on the mental health of countless women so far.

ET YAYING Future Garden

The "ET YAYING Future Garden" pop-up store, centered on brand innovation, creates a futuristic experience space at 627 Huaihai Middle Road, Shanghai.

It constructs an experimental site for the ET YAYING sub-brand through four sci-fi chapters: "Long Dream," "Ark," "Hometown," and "Echo."

The space utilizes YAYING red and futuristic silver as its main color scheme, complemented by metal panels and mirrored glass to create a technological texture. Peony art installations and interactive imagery form a digital garden where reality and virtuality coexist. By integrating light-shadow programming and AR fitting technology, it shapes a youthful brand image.

This project breaks traditional retail models, reconstructs brand DNA with futuristic design, transforms cultural symbols into immersive consumer scenes, and provides an innovative template for the transformation of high-end women's fashion.

Our "Future Garden" aims to dialogue between the ET YAYING brand DNA and future contexts through bold and impassioned design language. By employing spatial narrative and tangible technological interactions, the project not only continues the brand's fundamental pursuit of beauty but also provides a reusable methodology for the youthful transformation of traditional apparel brands. In this garden where virtual and real intertwine, every consumer becomes a co-creator of the ET YAYING future story.

THING WITH A SOUL.

ANGRY BIKE

When my owner first brought me home, I eagerly anticipated every adventure. However, over time, my owner started riding me improperly—using one hand, even playing with their phone while cycling. I felt angry, thinking, "Don't you realize how dangerous this is? What about your safety awareness?" I deeply understand the importance of safety awareness for our journey together.
