Camouflage Cover

Désirée Palmen creates her work, which uses camouflage, as it’s main focus. In photo works, videos and site-specific actions, she explores the possibilities of letting people ‘dissolve’ into their surroundings or to let them disapaer against the background. The manipulation of clothing plays a crucial role. *HIER

STADSGUERRILLA

‘Guerrilla in the city’ was inspired by the fashion of civilian clothes made from camouflage printed fabrics. The family in this work is dressed in their finest outfits, like the ones people wear on weddings or other very special occasions, but the costumes are made from textiles with a camouflage print.HIER*

Laurent La Gamba- Camouflages and pro-cryptic installations

Laurent La Gamba (b. 1967) is an artist, photographer, and video artist interested in pro-crypsis (camouflage) La Gamba’s projects span a variety of in situ installations, performances and photographic installations to look at Procrypsis in relationship to the world of urban space and technology. His work aims at creating a kind of urban camouflage (“homochromie”in French) that mimics what is naturally found in nature with Procrypsis, using painting, photography and video as a tool. *HIER

Karmaflage - Designer Font Free Download!

Danish type designer Kenn Munk’s latest font, Karmaflage, is a dingbat containing three different types of ornament to be used for making decorative camouflage patterns. In his own words:
“I’m fascinated by camouflage as decoration, It has some cool aesthetic qualities. I’m trying to take these aesthetics further by basing Karmaflage on ornaments. That way the camouflage becomes the complete opposite of what camouflage is all about.”

Optical camouflage is a kind of active camouflage

This idea is very simple. If you project background image onto the masked object, you can observe the masked object just as if it were virtually transparent.This shows the principle of the optical camouflage using X’tal Vision. You can select camouflaged object to cover with retroreflector. Moreover, to project a stereoscopic image, the observer looks at the masking object more transparent.

Optical camouflage can be applied for a real scene. In the case of a real scene, a photograph of the scene is taken from the operator?fs viewpoint, and this photograph is projected to exactly the same place as the original. *HIER

Dazzle Camouflage

THE MOST familiar kinds of camouflage make one thing appear to be two, two things one, and so on. Camouflage artists (called camoufleurs) make it an arduous challenge to see a figure on a ground (called blending), or to distinguish one category of object from another (mimicry). Less familiar but potentially far more effective is disruptive or dazzle camouflage in which a single thing appears to be a hodgepodge of unrelated components. *HIER 

Why has the Army redesigned its uniforms?

After years of study—and the field deployment of thousands of prototype uniforms in Operation Enduring Freedom—the U.S. Army recently unveiled a new uniform, dubbed the Army Combat Uniform, or ACU. It will become standard-issue for all deployed troops in the fall of 2005. You can count on one hand the number of major uniform upgrades undertaken by the Army in the last century, so this sweeping sartorial redesign begs further analysis. What does the ACU tell us about the state of soldiering? *HIER

Tiger Stripe Camouflage goes Digital

(June 23, 2004, Vancouver, B.C.) Don’t blink that Special Forces soldier may be right in front of you. For decades camouflage trends haven’t changed much, until the Canadian Military came out with a new digital pixilated pattern in the 1990’s called CADPAT which brought the acclaim from NATO in field testing. The U.S. Marines followed suit a few years later with a similar digital pattern called MARPAT, just beating Tiger Stripe, which placed second in the Marines field-testing, which started in the military Research labs with over 100 patterns. *HIER
