An ode to the original 3D primitive. Primitive explores the notions of the stoned ape theory by Terence McKenna. Were psilocybin mushrooms the "evolutionary catalyst" from which language, projective imagination, the arts, religion, philosophy, science, and all of human culture sprang? What would they have experienced during these first psychedelic voyages? Primitive explores the use of the dome to its full potential: guiding the audience through different trajectories, scales, geometric objects, figurative and abstract notions of time and space.… >>>
CLIMATE CRIMES explores the complex relationship between global air pollution, climate change and human migration. This immersive full dome film investigates how anthropogenic aerosols and other atmospheric particles originating in the wealthy nations of the global north – Europe, USA, China, and others – impact global climate systems and contribute to the desertification and migration in the Sahel region of north Africa. The spatial video content is designed to immerse the viewer in this cyclic story of cause and effect.… >>>
Circle circus is an abstract generative journey through space with visual and audible contrasts. An accompanied synth storm creates the atmosphere of a condensed science fiction movie, an odyssey into the mysteries of a vast void. These generative visuals are made to explore the geometry laws of a dome projection. A 360-degree projection on a vault is totally different from a plane one, allowing novel visual impressions. Thereto I pursue three approaches. On the one hand I emphasize the geometry of the vault and animate each spot of the projection. On the other hand incorporate free floating elements mutating in an organic way.… >>>
