IC-United Studios in Beijing merge digital fashion, mocap dance, and dream-induced environments into a surreal and somewhat disorienting CG short film for Nowness, called PATTERN.

IC-United director LiuDi: “[This film] was shown for the first time at the 2020 Genius Project. It combines ethnic minority models, dance artists, musicians, and a number of fashion designers to make an experimental creation with the concept of ‘future nation’.”
