What if design could adapt to its viewer? My ongoing research into interactive typography looks into intellgent user interfaces. Using machine learning, we can create complex interactions that we previously had to guess, and painstakingly hard-code. This experiment manipulates variable fonts using…

Creating point clouds from image is surprisingly easy. Dots are translated on the z-axis using the original image’s brightness values. The resulting model is not a physically correct representation of the original image, yet it is still takes on expressive forms. In some cases, though, this…

Personal website for documentary photographer Nina Schollaardt, a recent graduate from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. The site is built using Gatsby. → www.ninaschollaardt.nl

Webstore for the photography graduates at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. During the corona crisis, students were faced with a lack of exposure and funding. Building on Jan Egbers and Rudi van Delden’s identity, I developed a webstore. The income went into funding the students graduations. Up…

Planes: the biomimicry that drives engineers creates astonishing shapes — every generation stands for its centuries technological aspirations. Joel Gethin Lewis seems to share the same fascination, as his instagram account is littered with experimental fighter aircraft. The photographer Tillmanns…

An interactive experience by UAL CCI students in collaboration with Phoenix Perry. Phoenix is a game designer, installation artist and engineer from New York. Sound design by Ben Kelly. I contributed by designing the circuitry and general component layout, and soldering. Forest Daydream was…

Theremin is an experimental instrument that uses light as an interface to output tones and melodies. It can be played by a single player or as a dialogue between two. Theremin uses electrical components and excludes any external interfaces or software. Its piezo speakers produce raw (admittedly…

Luc Karsten is a dutch photographer and student at the Royal Academy of Art The Hague. The site is built using Vue and Gridsome.

Marching Band is an experiment into self-generating art, inspired by the work of John Gerrard. The world I created is in fact generated in real time, and uses cartography streamed from a map provider. Surface area is assembled using tiles, creating an evolving landscape that is virtual yet real at…

While interning at Studio Airport, I designed the promo website for the film “Earthrise” by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee. Told by the Apollo 8 astronauts, the film recounts their experiences and memories and explores the beauty, awe, and grandeur of the Earth against the blackness of outer space. Design…

Promotional website for the for the thrid year phototgraphy students at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. Together with Soyun Park, I created the exhibition design. It revolved around the idea of the curator: visitors would be their own curator, designing their individual personalized experience…

A group project with Diego Grandry and Lukasz Gula as a commission for the Museum of Bags and Purses Amsterdam. It was later carried on by Diego Grandry and Marie Cantenys and was presented at the Dutch Design Awards. In the future, wars will be fought over water. Clean drinking water is the world’s…

Using RealFlow, an industry standard for fluid simulation used in high budget film productions, I created fluid simulations. These parametric shapes are based on physics, and are in essence an image of how the computer sees nature. I printed them using various 3D printers (Z–Printer, Resin, PLA…
