Digital Camouflage is a garment designed to “fool” artificial intelligence systems that use computer vision to detect people. At first glance, it looks like a garment adorned with an abstract pattern, but it is actually a textile pattern specially created to confuse the object recognition algorithms used in surveillance, security, or autonomous systems.
The design is inspired by what is known as an “adversarial attack”: a method that involves manipulating the visual data received by a machine so that it cannot correctly recognize what is in front of it. When a person wears this garment, their body becomes “invisible” to the system: the algorithm is unable to detect the presence of a person.

Simon Weckert, a true digital wizard and mischievous tinker, takes great delight in sharing his thoughts on everything from generative design to physical computing—just imagine a bit of technological magic spiced with a touch of social critique. His playground? The digital world, where code and circuits aren’t just tools, but also ironic statements. Forget the practical value of technology; Simon is primarily interested in what future generations will think of us, who spend our time pressing buttons and refreshing apps. His creations are at once technology, art, and irreverent social commentary, aiming to unravel complex issues in a way that makes you laugh, think, or perhaps simply scratch your head. His works and performances have been presented at the V&A Dundee, Ars Electronica Linz, CCBT Tokyo, chi K11 artspace Shanghai, Löwenbräukunst Zurich, the Vitra Design Museum, the EDF Foundation in Paris, Transmedial Berlin, and the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar.
