Shifting Patterns
This project shows my Master’s thesis research’s conclusions on interactions with objects through an exploration of 3D printed zoetropes that puts emphasis to the varying factors affecting one’s perception. With the variation of form, pattern, rotation speed, camera shutter speed, and environment lighting, a small change in any of these causes a different pattern to emerge.
Role: Industrial Designer
Type: Solo Project
Year: 2024
This 3D zoetrope creates a discourse on how unexpected behaviours arise from a multiplicity of perspectives and lived experiences. It acts as a reminder for us to consider a sensitivity to differences in perception, understanding, interpretation, and response to whatever we might design.
