  Alexander Lervik Spike Chair

  Alexander Lervik

  Spike Chair

  Working closely with LOD I created this 2-minute animation for Alexander Lervik's project called "Spike Chair".
  The brief was to create a graphical piece that would reveal the final
  shape of the chair in the end of the animation.

  Lab Particle Type

  Lab

  Particle Type

  This animation in the Lab series explores how typography looks and behaves when they are filled with particle streaks. Using the typography as collision objects confines the particles and forces them to re-shape after the typography.

• 

  Lab Vertex Maps

  Lab

  Vertex Maps

  For this part of the Lab series I wanted to research the combination of organic/non-organic shapes and fluidity. The underlying mesh drives
  the fluid which has a high viscosity, making it behave like honey.

  United Minds

  Almedalen Live

  For United Minds, part of the Prime Group, I created this ident for the daily talkshow that was aired on the web during Almedalen Live.

  Science Museum, London Sparking Reaction

  Science Museum, London

  Sparking Reaction

  The approach in Sparking Reaction was to help visitors engage with written text in an issues based exhibition. The physically and intellectually immersive space at the centre of Sparking Reaction aims to do this with large-scale animated text and images projected onto the floor and walls.
  Winner of the D&AD Silver Awards 2003 ’Enviromental design & architecture’. Winner of the Directors Club of Europe, Gold Awards 2003 ’Exhibition Design’.

  Lab Waveform

  Lab

  Waveform

  In this animation, part of the Lab series, the goal was to research how music could drive different parameters as opposed to keyframe them by hand. In this particular case the movement of the main mesh and subsequently the particles (spheres) hoovering above.

  Expo Zaragoza Thirst

  Expo Zaragoza

  Thirst

  The fifth room of ‘Thirst Exhibition’ is an installation titled “Thirst is necessary”. The 10 meter-long audiovisuals use the metaphoric visual language of prehistoric cave paintings. The motion graphics use
  a system of illustrations all connected together by a system of roots, causes and effect, depicting the natural world and man’s relationship with water.

• 

  Lab Deform

  Lab

  Deform

  In this animation part of the Lab series the goal was to research how to drive a animation without keyframes.
  Using various deformers and Softbody dynamics in Cinema4D this was possible. The only keyframes in this animation is the rotation of the camera. The result is a eerie looking object that has its own life.
