Pixy Liao 廖逸君, Soft Heeled Shoes 软跟鞋, 2013

"I almost never wear high-heeled shoes, because they are uncomfortable. I am always amazed to see other women walking in their high heeled shoes all day long. I'm intrigued by how women can support their whole body weight on such thin and tiny heels, and be able to balance themselves and walk with elegance. I'm also interested in how women wearing high heels is viewed as being sexy in our society, and how it becomes a visual pleasure for men. I want to further test the mystery of attractiveness of high heeled shoes. I imagined myself wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes with soft penises and testicles as the heels, would I be able to balance and walk? Would I be viewed as sexy walking in them? Does the fact that I'm walking on soft penises turn men down, or does it even increase their interest?
So I made myself a pair of high heels with heels shaped like my boyfriend's penis. The heels are printed from a 3D printer with soft silicon-like material. In order to walk on these soft high heels, I need to balance myself every step I made. I put most of my weight on my toes and managed to finish the walk.
Walking on my boyfriend's soft penis is also a metaphor for my relationship with him.." -- Pixy Liao

Technical Description
The 3D model of the heels is a hybrid of two 3D scans. One of the 3D scans is from a cast of a real penis. The other 3D scans is from a sex toy. It was then digitally combined and altered to achieve the ideal look and size.
The heels are printed with silicon-like PolyJet photopolymers, using a technology called PolyJet 3D printing technology.

"我从不喜欢穿高跟鞋，因为它们很不舒服。我看到其他女性整日穿着高跟鞋走路总是很惊讶。我惊叹于她们可以靠又细又高的鞋跟支撑她们的身体，还能平稳并且优雅的走路。我也对于高跟鞋被我们的社会视为性感之物，并可以在视觉上取悦男性感到很有意思。我想进一步试探高跟鞋神秘的吸引力。想象自己穿着一双用软软的男性阴茎和睾丸做成鞋跟的高跟鞋走路，我如何才能保持平衡的走下去？别人会觉得我穿着这样的高跟鞋很性感么？还是这样会让他们反感，或者激起他们更强烈的兴趣？
所以我给我自己制作了一双以我男友生殖器为模型的高跟鞋。鞋跟部分是用3D 打印机打印的类似硅胶一样的材质。当我穿着这双鞋走路时，我的每一步都很小心平衡着。我把自己的体重放到脚尖，勉强完成了行走。
走在我男友的软生殖器的鞋跟上也是对我们之间关系的一种隐喻。" -- 廖逸君

技术说明
这个鞋跟的3D 模型来自两部分的3D 扫描。一部分扫描的是男性生殖器的翻模，一部分扫描来自于性爱玩具。然后我把这两部分在电脑里结合并修改，已达到它的最佳形状和尺寸。
鞋跟部分的材质是类似硅胶的PolyJet 光敏聚合物，使用的技术是PolyJet 3D 打印技术。
本作品制作得到了曼哈顿下城文化委员会和纽约大学先进媒体实验室的支持
