WHY?
- graduation project next year → live generated 3D environments ↔ audiovisualisation
- A – Z → founding a studio in collaboration with Alex Roidl – collaborative and hybrid practice in borders of new technologies and visual culture
- the studio should have two foundations:
- visual culture (graphic design, art direction, motion design, visual identity, website, 3D animation)
- digital culture (design research, creative coding, light - space installations, audiovisual performances)
- the studio should have two foundations:
