Unvisible Landscapes

Unvisible Landscapes is a series of lamps based on three dimensional fractals. The forms recall urban landscapes and are generated in fractal modelling software. Displacement maps are applied to the surfaces in three dimensional modelling software, and the resulting shapes are printed with PLA filament. Each printed object is fitted with LED strips and a power supply, so the fractal is presented in the form of light. The series makes mathematical structures visible in physical space and brings them into the field of art and design.
