DEMO is the absolute Motion Design festival: during 24 hours, Amsterdam and some major cities around the world are hijacked with the best work from world’s best designers. Being showcased at the very event that once inspired me is an honour I can’t quite put into words. Out of 5,359 films, one part of my Ballet x Creative Coding project was selected.
A five minutes typographic ballet, a virtual Pas-De-Deux expressing the lack of communication in relationships. Filmed with real dancers, remapped through a personal creative coding algorithm and exhibited in the gigantic 360° immersive room of the Kunstkraftwerk in Leipzig, it allowed the viewers to loose themselves in a classical ballet experience with a very modern twist.
I had the opportunity to play a live Audio-Visual act at Urban Spree in Berlin, for a Solana Foundation event. Merging neo-classical music with ballet dancers and flying typography, interacting with modular synthesis and old technology like a theremin antenna, it was the second performance as “The Exhausted” under the this format.
Live Audio-Visual Performance for the Lynk & Co Berlin Club. First appearance of neo-classical music played live with generative typographical ballet visuals. Merging Ableton, Processing, and TouchDesigner live.
During the CTM festival, Lighthouse Berlin opened its doors to new designers and creative coders. I had the opportunity to present my latest project in the immersive room, a 360° video mapped location with a 7.1 sound system. LGMDR9 is a film about living with a rare muscular disease: in a nutshell, it’s fucking exhausting.
