Outsiders

It is a lighting show that was staged at three different locations in Oakville (ON, Canada). The performance is fiction on the theme of Energy. In the story, the Outsiders came to Earth not as invaders but as highly intelligent creatures with a lot of knowledge to share with humans. The main point of the project: the energy is actually found inside of us. It is the foundation of human livelihood and maybe a key to solving the energy problem on Earth. To visualize the idea, the artist has designed lighting costumes using LED modules and zip-ties.

Space Paradox

Space Paradox is a conceptual video about the nature and limits of space. The film uses three world forms as its background: the spatial world of entities, the multidimensional world of fractals, and the world of logic and human consciousness. The transformation and overlap of the three forms present a dialectic between entity and vacuum, space and consciousness. The starting point is the question of the edge of space raised by Archytas, together with theories of potential and real infinity. Space Paradox also includes a creative expression of space graphics.

134340 is an animated music video created as a fan made project for a Korean pop song of the same name. The song title refers to the asteroid number of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Simple geometric forms and keyframe animation at 30 frames per second are used. The flat cel shading art style was produced entirely in the software Cinema 4D.

Together Better

Together Better is a mobile application designed to improve leisure outings with friends. Plans can be made, meeting points can be set, and navigation to a rendezvous is offered within one application, so users do not need to switch between several separate applications. Four sections organize the experience: Play, Location, Plan and Information. Shared moments and past outings can also be browsed. The visual design uses the Neomorphism style, also called Soft User Interface, to reduce the digital feeling of information about real places.

Collaborative Aid

Collaborative Aid is a mobile application designed to shorten response time in medical emergencies. The application connects a person in need with qualified helpers nearby instead of relying only on distant hospitals. Users with first aid training can join the angel plan and receive requests and directions to the location. Users without such training can take free lessons within the application. An alarm button on the home page starts a first aid request and an emergency call. On-screen guidance and video help witnesses act before trained helpers arrive.
