As a designer in 2024, experiencing a paradigm shift in the arts driven by AI technology, I call on artists and designers to explore the potential of a new movement. My project, the Neue Trans Aesthetics Manifesto, aims to be both a manifesto and the catalyst for this emerging creative evolution. 

Project

This thesis commences with the proclamation of the Neue Trans Aesthetics Manifesto, wherein its legitimacy is asserted and its necessity argued. It then considers the ways in which humanity can differentiate itself and survive as an agent of aesthetic formation in an era in which the ontological question of human beings as agents of creation is being posed in an extensive artistic paradigm driven by AI technology. 

The research was conducted through three activities: interviews, manifesto writing, and visualization experiments. These activities were continuously influenced by and grew in conjunction with one another, akin to a living organism. The visualization experiment serves to metaphorically illustrate the message of the Neue Trans Aesthetics Manifesto. In the context of the 'Representation of Form', the exhibition experiments with the relationship between digital properties (photogrammetry scanning) and physical properties (3D-printed objects). It can be considered a visualized poem of The Neue Trans Aesthetics Manifesto with each element functioning as a metaphor.
