Two years ago famed Swedish paper brand Munken developed a new font which they subsequently made available for everyone to use: Munken Sans – a timeless font, inspired by 1960’s Swedish typeface Tratex.

After the release, I was approached by agency JUNO to ideate and develop a novel playground for this font which would allow creatives to explore its application in surprising new ways. They specifically asked for a solution that would fuse the unexpectedness of Creative Coding- and Generative Design-based visual exploration with precise control over the font’s properties. The result of our dialogue is The Munken Creator: A playground of unimagined possibilities, enabling designers to create visually animated and unique messages. It is an invitation to inspire cooperation among creatives. And a challenge of how we preserve the heritage of design while simultaneously reinventing its tools for a hybrid future.

EOS data flow is a browser-based, interactive design-system at the intersection of digital art and data- visualization.
It’s premise is to make the EOS- blockchain more approachable by giving it a “physical” shape that is a real-time representation of its current state of transactions, actions, market movement and other datasets that define the current state of the blockchain.

Generative, experimental motion and shape study. Working on many complex and diverse projects, I feel the desire to take more time to do these small and fun experiments again. With love to everyone.

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.
