GENERATIVE

EXPERIMENTS

Software is made to simplify and accelerate the workflow of a designer. However, in the software development process, developers cannot always cover all the applications and functionalities for their tools. Programming can give me more flexibility as a designer and pushes my bounderies further. With the logic of good code I can define rule sets for the computer to generate new designs and enhance them with user interactions for a more immersive spatial experience. With sensoric interactions like motion detection or sound reactions the user changes his familiar perspective as a consumer and becomes an integral and active part of the space.

All animations are generated by sound or motion sensor input.

I‘m Steffen Hörbrand. I'm a freelance Art Director and Motion Designer with more than ten years of experience.

I am passionate about leading the creative process from the first idea scribble to the finished project and working as a motion design generalist with both 3D and 2D content.
My particular interest lies in creating immersive, spatial installations through moving images and transforming digital works into experiences in the physical world.

Over the last ten years I gained experience in developing and implementing concepts for exhibitions, shows or trade fairs in collaboration with different studios.
In my projects I use a wide range of formats for successful customer communication, from classic conceptual methods such as moodboards or storyboards to 3D-printed building models and VR applications.

In addition I have taught several courses at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences as a lecturer in time-based media.
