Besides my commercial work I free my mind with very quick fashion sketches.

The Case of Lost Curiosity
The Case of Lost Curiosity was born when like minded people join the quest of exploration of the unseen in everyday life through the method of observation and co-learning.
I do not feel, but I fight and therefore I exist
This work is a mixture of layers of different mediums, a puzzle peace of a puzzle itself. Exploration point.

Fabricted Nature
An inquiry into the relationship between human and nature in the age of the anthropocene. Multiple sculptures were constructed to produce new plants that are beautiful and colorful although “fake”.

Metamarathon
Meta Marathon’s 2020 edition revolved around „Cyborgs“. Visitors would have been able to experience an array of cultural performances, lectures, installations and workshops – 42 hours, non-stop. The festival at NRW Forum Düsseldorf, scheduled for May 22–24 was cancelled. The essence of the identity is one of the crucial differences between machine and human. While human beings emit heat naturally, the temperature of metallic machines heavily depends on their surroundings. By utiliting the style of thermal imaging devices the union of human and machine as cyborg could be visualised in different ways, from slight body modifications to whole external limbs …

“I Don’t See Color” (Red Lines)
In the United States, it is common to hear people say “I don’t see color,” when it comes to race. They think that being “color blind” means they hold no bias. But ignoring race means ignoring racism. Recognizing racism means acknowledging the history of structural oppression and implicit bias. “Redlining,” for example, names discriminatory practices in housing, lending, and other services that systematically put poor and poor Black communities at a disadvantage. Typography in this composition becomes topography. It is a political message that aims to express that color, in more ways than one, matters.
Colour Calendar
Colour Calendar is a book of colours to hang on a wall, to change when the mood strikes, the sky turns, or the seasons change.
The project brings the customization and self-expression facilitated by digital products into a physical object, while giving new purpose to an object made obsolete by digital technology.
Each page is screenprinted with a custom blended colour, rendering colours in intensities far beyond what can be achieved with standard printing techniques.
Sweet Isolation
Stay together, stay happy – this image of a couple is my interpretation of lockdown and self-isolation.
In Time
In “In Time” work, the time of the book is represented by the color of its pages. The intensity of the color indicates the distance of time in space. The closest one to the present is the lightest one. Books that moving away from today increasingly gets darker. The darkest one is the oldest one. Books on the shelf -that representing these 30 different moments-, shows the reader a time interval in a single glance.
Production Technique and Material of the Artwork:
30 books collected from second-hand booksellers, metal shelf.
Dimensions of the Artwork:
48 cm x 23 cm x 16 cm
Year: 2019
Memage
The Memage series -in which the name derives from the combination of “memetic” and “image”-, is based on recording the colors of things encountered in daily life. Each photograph in the series was produced with the action of taking pictures with mobile phone without any artificial lighting or editing afterwards. Each picture was named with the digital data registered on the phone. These images are grouped as a reference to the light spectrum, grayscale and color contrast principles. This project is a personal image diary that investigates the registration and representation of colors which have been taken at different time intervals and different locations since 2018.
Panopticon Color Wheel
Panopticon Color Wheel is built on the model named Panopticon idealized by the British philosopher Jeremy Bentham. Panopticon is an architectural model of a prison which aimed at keeping large numbers of people under surveillance. This model is structured in a ring of single-chamber cells. According to French philosopher Michel Foucault, this model constitutes the functioning logic of many basic institutions of modern society such as schools, hospitals, prisons, factories, etc., and shapes human thoughts by systematically identifying them. This artwork is criticizing the system of academia’s “fundamentals and principles” of art and design education by referring to the Foucault’s thoughts.
Live on Acid
This piece began life as a commission from Manchester acid house duo Live on Acid, and this my evolution of the logo I created for them. The music in its nature (and typical of the genre) is a bold fusion of technology and spirit, an explosion of colour, humour and energy. Like and electric shock to the soul.
Odeeh FW21
I did a bunch of coloured paper cutouts for the latest collection of Odeeh fashion label. These patterns are printed on fabric, like silk and cotton.
The Stick Up
An intuitive work with a minimalist spray paint palette in connection with used duct tape as an homage to the synchronous early years of punk & hip-hop culture.
Degraded & scenery
The degraded scenery is a set of graphic design posters composed of graphics and rich colors. The works designed by zimm wang personally use rich colors and abstract geometry to express a broken visual relationship, thus showing the collision between different elements. The feeling of designing abstract graphics and some labelled graphics for a picture combination, resulting in a different feeling.
Hidden Land
Where do we go if the civilization grows but not the earth? Some talk about space, I talk about finding places we already know to build new opportunities.
Teasing Typography
We are very excited about today’s release Teasing Typography by graphic designer Juliane Nöst, a book that, with its logical structure and rebellious results, opens up new views of the world of boundary-pushing typography.
How does typography behave under extreme conditions? What visual phenomenons, patterns, artifacts, and graphic elements can be provoked by pushing type through extreme grids and using extreme typographic parameters? At what point does a text step back to its original purpose of informing the reader? When does text become something else: a graphic element, a gray surface, a static noise, or a haptic pattern?
To investigate these questions, graphic designer Juliane Nöst systematically pushed text through various grids in the framework of a typographic study. Starting with the InDesign default-settings, a range of font-sizes and columns were used to generate a broad spectrum of diverse typographic outcomes.
In a further step, existing results were layered and collaged, aiming to create additional sets of unexpected forms and graphics. The outcome of this research leads to a variety of visual peculiarities, creating absorbing patterns, interacting with the grids, sometimes making them visible while disappearing under other parameters.
The 500-page book is a glimpse into the endless possibilities that may emerge when teasing typography.
