Artist/s: Sun–Woong Bang

My project investigates how new forms of jewellery can be created by combining traditional and digital technologies. These include the ancient jewellery technique of ‘filigree’ and 3D printing technology. To produce new jewellery, I explore actual and imagined cultural interactions between East and West. My application of historical, fictional, and imaginative approaches forms the basis for making artworks to address my understanding of transculturality. To present my trans-cultural artworks, I employ the website sunbang.com.au as a non-traditional exhibition space. I am living in the digital technology era and a field of massive culture exchange due to the World Wide Web. My use of digital technology leads me to a new idea to present my artworks in the virtual space.
