FINISHES – From smart devices to smart
homes, technology is embedding itself into
every aspect of our lives, adding layers of
interaction and visual play to the surfaces
that surround us. In theory, the shift towards
digitized environments ought to render
inanimate objects stale and monotonous, were it
not for designers experimenting with colour and
low-tech techniques in an attempt to hoodwink
human perception. It’s all about adding analogue
layers to everyday objects to produce a sense of
interaction. – SLAScreen-based or tangible:
is it a MATTER OF PERCEPTION?
The dynamic visual effect of Flux resembles that of a digital screen, yet the process
behind it is completely analogue. Design Academy Eindhoven graduate
TAMARA VAN ROIJ embroidered three layers of viscose yarn in different directions
and colours – yellow, magenta and cyan – to make a rug that plays with perception
when viewed from different angles and in different types of light.
