Introduction

In the context of the era of "Fluid Boundaries", design is moving from a clear division of labor to relationship reconstruction, and boundaries are no longer stable, but are constantly being rewritten and flowing. The theme of this exhibition is INNO+ (Innovation), and in response to this state of change, design is seen as a process of continuous advancement in the midst of uncertainty. We are not only facing the boundary between the physical and the digital, the natural and the man-made, but also the increasingly blurring relationship between the self and the world.

In the blurred and intertwined boundaries, every attempt, every exploration, is a small force that drives design forward. From material experimentation to formal development, from issues to technology integration, design no longer pursues a single solution, but constructs new possibilities layer by layer in multiple conditions, forming a contemporary order. The "+" in INNO+ symbolizes the continuous expansion of potential and the process of continuous accumulation, which is both a method and an attitude - plus courage, curiosity, and acceptance of the unknown. With this mindset, design becomes a language of co-creation, creating new connections between people and the environment.

This exhibition also starts from the visual style, drawing on elements such as vaporwaves, false aesthetics, and cyberpunk, responding to the ambiguity and distortion in contemporary digital culture, symbolizing the possibility of generating order in chaos. The "new layer" is not the end, but a state of continuous evolution, stacking the design language belonging to this generation within the boundaries of flow.
