Exploring the Path of Cultural Sustainability for Traditional Costume Embroidery Patterns Based on Digital Generative Art

Abstract

Utilizing the modern application of traditional Chinese costume embroidery patterns as a starting point, and addressing its challenges, this research explores culturally sustainable methods within a modern context. It employs line elements to generate and design contemporary embroidery patterns, incorporating glitch art for the visual effects of these images, and integrates random elements into the design approach in generative and glitch art. Focusing on the creative process, it utilizes Touch Designer as the primary digital tool and employs case study methods to investigate modern approaches for transforming traditional patterns using digital media technology. This research is pioneering in integrating pattern generative art with new media and fashion, infusing traditional patterns with contemporary artistic traits, reimagining visual forms, enriching cultural contexts, and fostering dynamic innovation. It offers insights for the sustainable preservation and dissemination of Chinese traditional intangible cultural heritage in the modern era.
