VECTROID &

APPARITION

Influenced by the internet sub-culture of Vaporwave, Vectroid (chair) and Apparition (mask) explore the concepts of anonymity, identity and illusions. The project was exhibited at Form & Design Centre in Malmö, Sweden. As an anonymous mask, Apparition is modelled after the perfect geometrical face. It is made from extremely thin organza fabric with only glue as a supportive component. This makes it very light and delicate, resembling the aspects of an apparition in limbo between the digital and analog.

Combining the words of vector and android, Vectroid replicates a two-dimensional landscape with its steel frame and seat. At first appearance the thin seat seems to be nothing more than a mirror. But when turned on it lights up with an infinite depth, blurring the dimensions.
