Visible, loud, yet overlooked. Where others see dust and scaffolding, Dared saw rhythm and design. Fractal Distraction transforms the language of construction into an aesthetic experience—turning a space of transition into one of perception. Using industrial mesh as a canvas, Dared redefines architectural in-between states, inviting viewers to lose orientation and find beauty in distraction.
Visions mean nothing without the courage to build them. I’d rather risk everything than just talk about ideas.
A construction site became a prototype for innovative thinking.
Instead of hiding the work in progress, the installation revealed its pulse —
exposing the structure’s rhythm rather than masking it. Working with industrial mesh — an architectural material never meant for art —
I entered uncharted territory where architecture, engineering, and industrial design intersect.Every decision required thoughtful experimentation:
A process of adapting function into feeling, developing prototypes directly on-site, and testing tension, transparency, and balance in real time.It was a bold vision — one that demanded innovation, improvisation, and adherence to safety requirements. The result: a modular design system that not only withstands the demands of a live construction site, but also transforms it into an immersive, living artwork.
The framework of labor became a framework of art, and the web of construction turned into a matrix of illusion.
When art has to fit inside a system, it enters a matrix of regulations and requirements.
The scaffolding itself — a modular structure designed for flexibility — constantly shifts with the pace of renovation. Building a system within this moving framework meant designing something that could adapt just as quickly. Finding fixed points in a structure built to move was the first challenge. The second was keeping it open: workers still needed safe access for their daily routines,
and the installation could never interrupt the flow of construction. The solution became a lightweight modular design system — a custom-engineered method that holds each layer safely, remains flexible to structural change,
and meets strict safety standards without losing its visual tension. Each mesh panel was individually painted and mounted modularly to adjust to the site’s evolving form.
A newly developed hanging mechanism allows continued access to the scaffolding while maintaining full structural integrity. Around 500 m² of industrial mesh were used to create over 120 panels, each interacting with light — both natural and artificial — producing layers that shift in depth, tone, and rhythm throughout the day. This was not decoration — it was architecture reimagined as motion. A system that doesn’t just cover the site, but reveals its living complexity.
More impressions are coming soon.
