“Welcome to Cyberworld 'PROJEKT-E710' where you can immerse yourself in cyber-reality with your own custom character with unique abilities and appearance. These unique pieces inspired by Cybercore fashion and cosplay create wearable pieces to reflect my form of creative expression as well as a discovery of myself as a character who transcends the Cyberworld limitlessly through media. The series consists of 3 wearable headgear pieces, the digital headset, the soundwave mask, and the reality pin, each with their own abilities and skills associated with my own character in the Cyberworld. Each piece has been assembled with cold joints of nickel to acrylic, and repurposed gundam kits through kit-bashing, a method of using a mix of different modelling kits to create a new original design. The first piece in this project is a digital headset with a sleek black and white-winged antennae design, it allows the wearer in the Cyberworld to translate and analyze any data within space into physical matter. Second, the soundwave mask modelled after digital soundwaves allows one to connect with people in the past to communicate and receive help on their journey through Cyberworld. Lastly, the reality pin, the key to enter Cyberworld, once put on or taken off the user can freely enter any Cyberworld imaginatively possible and exit to any reality they desire.”
