Lasermaze is an architectural installation formed from three miles of UV wool and over 3000 hand tied knots suspended from an industrial structure of steel scaffolding and chains created for the 2015 Detroit Design Festival. Lasermaze was located along the Dequindre Cut, a former railway line in Detroit that has been converted to a greenway and walking track. Lasermaze’s playful structure invites visitors to get lost within a unique surreal space as they journey towards the centre. Within the maze the layers of string and the barriers they form become almost imperceptible from each other, creating an overwhelming feeling of being lost within a distorted, surreal reality. In addition the unique glowing nature of the maze means that at night it acts as a beacon, encouraging people to interact, play and attempt the challenge of navigating their way through to the centre.
