A project focusing on the aesthetic texture of lacquer that adopts 3DCG/3D printing technology to explore lacquer’s inherent charm from a technological perspective, while elaborating on its plasticity and production process. This work generates modeling data simulating the texture of lacquer. It then performs 3D collision simulations to elicit a form, such as a modeled object spearing a square textile, that would be difficult to reproduce with manual crafting. Output with a 3D printer, the data is brought to fruition as a lacquer sculpture with countless layers of lacquer coating and polishing manually applied by a lacquer artisan. The modeled lacquer is then photographed to replicate the 3DCG-rendered image’s composition, lighting, and so on. From a distance, the images thus photographed appear the same as those produced through rendering, yet subtle disparities can be detected upon closer inspection. These discrepancies form the basis of the work’s inquiry into lacquer’s intrinsic charm. As one installment of the "between" series, "Black Aura" aims to re-examine the techniques, history, and aesthetics of traditional crafts from a technological perspective to reinterpret the charm of lacquer.
