Chimera Inner Chapter, Episode, Chimera

In this episode we interview Zhou Yi Jing / Yi Jing Fly, author of 'China Too Cool Vernacular Innovations and Aesthetic Discontinuity of China' and host of the podcast 'Framing Visual Culture,' about the Tu Wei aesthetic. This episode is a more personal conversation between Bizhou, Dexi and Yi Jing on the nuances of 'tu wei' (or 'too cool') following-up our article 'Meme My Valentine: Balenciaga And The Aesthetics Of Tu Wei'.

We hold an exchange on 'metaversal experiences' between Inner Chapter in Shanghai and Episode in Los Angeles. We discuss initial case studies (gaming / entertainment / work) and how they represent near-future metaversal behaviors for consumers and brands.
