In the anniversary year 2020, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien is exhibiting artists who do more than quote, interpret or contrast Beethoven’s work: The exhibition shows how Beethoven’s expressivity and cultural power permeate artistic practice from Romanticism to the present day. Across eras and disciplines, the exhibits demonstrate Beethoven’s inspirational impact and cultural power: The Beethoven Phenomenon.

This project references the curatorial leitmotif of the exhibition: The aim of the communicative approach is to make The Beethoven Phenomenon linguistically and visually palpable and to anchor the relevance of the exhibition associatively.

This dynamic visual identity-system uses motion-capture data to combine visual algorithms with the personal expression of human dancers, creating intricate forms and mesmerizing snapshots of motion in the process.

It distills the very essence of its subject to create individual and uniquely branded design-variations for the famous ballet composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. It is a comment on and exploration of how modern design-systems can express their subjects in a way that detaches the designer from the actual process by using generative design-approaches, allowing for unforeseen and autonomous design-decisions.

The Prelude No.1 in C Major is arguably the most famous of Johann Sebastian Bach’s movements for the Well-Tempered Clavier and quite certainly one of the most influential and defining musical texts in history altogether. To this date, its inherent ideas, patterns and structures are continuing to shape modern music and the way we perceive and create musical compositions. Its harmonic, monophonic progression is almost mathematical in construction and of a timelessness only few composers have achieved. This is why its deceptive simplicity and inherent beauty lends itself to be appreciated and rediscovered in this series of interactive, audio-visual explorations.

To address a younger, more eccentric clientele for the Diesel campaign “Go with the Flaw” I was invited to convert the campaign trailers into an interactive and new format. The system was designed as a spherical projection for the large domes of the former NSA wiretap station “Teufelsberg” and was projected in a guerilla event onto central areas of the city during the Berlin Leuchtet Festival.
