DESIGN STATEMENT:
Exploring the idea of digital eugenics, Shift focuses on the evolution of humans leading towards artificial intelligence. This is showcased through a video game aesthetic, following the narrative of the development of avatars that evolve into artificial intelligence and attempt to break the system they are programmed with. Shift utilises digital fashion, set design, 3D rendering and videography to convey this narrative through the collateral of a video, editorial, game cards and 3D figures.
The digital fashion aspect of Shift is paired with 3D rendering to illustrate an animated version of the looks throughout the editorial thus intrinsically placing the characters in a digital universe. This is elaborated by the set design which illustrates a dystopian scene which enhances the theme of the hypothetical video game.
