Dazzle

An optical illusion geometric design wrapped around a wall in a gallery space.

Project Description

Dazzle explores the computational development of a Delaunay’s triangulated surface and how its complex geometry can be projected onto a flat plan. As a result, the 2d pattern challenges our perception of volume through shape and line. The dazzle pattern, used in WW1 to visually camouflage warships, is applied to the flat design to disrupt further how the viewer perceived surfaces and interior volumes. Dazzle was exhibited at the Design Exchange: Canada’s Design Museum.
