Student Narrative
The electronic music scene across Asia is undergoing a tectonic shift. Once a Western import, techno has become deeply rooted in Asian metropolises, shaping unique identities and narratives. This collection mirrors techno's chaotic and immersive energy through its design, using random decorative elements, glitch-inspired visuals, and pixel typefaces to evoke the digital and unpredictable atmosphere of raves. Neon accents and Chinese characters ground the aesthetic in its Asian context, blending cultural heritage with the futuristic pulse of the music.
