Above In recent years, all sorts of people have adapted
disruptive camouflage schemes (or dazzle patterns) for innovative use in surprising contexts. None have been quite as refreshing as the recent work of a Philippine-born artist named
Stephanie Syjuco, who is now based in California (BFA San Francisco Art Institute, MFA Stanford University). Earlier this year, she completed a series of digital renderings of "speculative proposals for public works" called
Dazzle Camouflage Propositions. Shown above is her dazzle-surfaced version of Frank Lloyd Wright's
Fallingwater (she's also done something comparable for Le Corbusier's
Villa Savoye). Among her other proposals (see below) are dazzle applications for Silicon Valley "
Google buses,"
IKEA furniture, and a Philippine
jeepney.
