NCKU student in Technology and Art, Yi-Cheng Zhang, has been shortlisted for the 2024 Taiwan Craft Awards with his "Plunder"
NCKU Master's student in Technology and Art, Yi-Cheng Zhang, has been shortlisted for the 2024 Taiwan Craft Awards with his innovative ceramic work "Plunder". The work stood out in the final selection for the "Creation Award" due to its profound reflection on nature and the breakthrough application of artistic techniques. By skillfully combining ceramics with modern technology, Zhang's piece expresses a strong concern for environmental protection.
Plunder gained recognition for its unique design concept, featuring an elegant ceramic mesh structure that captures faint light, symbolizing respect and appreciation for natural resources. Zhang employed parametric design models and ceramic 3D printing technology to create a translucent structure from recycled ceramic materials. This approach not only enhanced design efficiency and precision but also produced a visually striking texture and light-transmitting effect. The mesh structure of the piece represents nature’s call, with each grid serving as a reminder of the delicate balance between humans and the environment, encouraging sustainable development for the future.
Zhang's creative process emphasizes environmental friendliness, from the selection of materials to the production techniques, all aimed at minimizing the consumption of natural resources. The use of recycled ceramic materials, turning industrial waste into new artistic creations, reflects a commitment to sustainability and underscores the artist's dedication to environmental issues. The ceramic 3D printing technology used in the work enables the creation of a thin, translucent, and precisely structured mesh, representing a new height in contemporary craft design and infusing traditional ceramic art with fresh vitality.
As a student in the NCKU Master's Program in Technology and Art, Yi-Cheng Zhang’s Plunder not only demonstrates his deep insights into the integration of art and technology but also showcases NCKU's success in nurturing talent in the field of technological art. His creation continues Taiwan's fine tradition of craft while incorporating the latest digital design technologies, highlighting the unique value of Taiwanese craft in the globalized era.
The 2024 Taiwan Craft Awards, one of the most prestigious competitions in Taiwan’s craft industry, attracted artisans from across the country. Zhang’s inclusion in the final selection marks a new milestone in his craft creation journey and adds to the prestige of NCKU's Technology and Art Master's Program.
