His short "Lockdown Dreamscape VR" won the VR Storytelling award at LICHTER Filmfest Frankfurt.
Inspired by architecture and everyday spaces he likes to create digital worlds in 3D. His works are often based on existing spaces that surround us and our habitual movements within them in relationship to the digital reality. Separate aspects of these places and processes are isolated, alienated, combined, distorted. Realms that would otherwise withdraw themselves from our attention, are made visible. Intermediate dimensions are exposed, viewing habits questioned. In confrontation with the digital chaos, one is challenged to reflect on their own reality.
Main software he uses is Cinema4D / Redshift / X-Particles in combination with After Effects / Premiere / Photoshop. Furthermore he uses Touchdesigner and Unity for interactive experiences as well as ableton live and max for sounddesign and interactive audiovisual builds.
