Generative & Procedural Content
I am a Colombian designer currently based in Costa Rica. With over 15 years of experience in creating impactful experiences by integrating design and technology, I have led design and engineering teams to develop and digitally manufacture custom made products and services for the communication and entertainment industry.
My expertise spans interactive design and installations, launch events, museums, concerts and special shows.
Feel free to reach me out for any work-related inquiries or requests. I'm here to help and look forward to connecting with you at nico@nicolasbautista.com
Notch has been one of my primary tools. As a specialist in its use, I've developed content for a wide range of projects on this platform.
My work spans procedural and generative graphics, high-resolution immersive environments, interactive installations and live VFX visuals and blocks for live shows.
As a designer, I specialize in creating systems and tools where the computer significantly influences the aesthetic outcomes. Unlike AI, I focus on developing controllable algorithms to expand my expressive possibilities.
Though generative and procedural design often involves anticipating unpredictable results, I find it thrilling to create tools that generate images beyond my initial capabilities. An exquisite paradox.
There's nothing like the adrenaline rush of being at the front of house during a live event.
I take on the roles of VJ, video director, and show master. I thrive on the electrifying energy from watching artists perform and relish the opportunity to help make their performances unforgettable.
The use of sensors to create reactive environments has always been central to my work.
I have extensive experience designing and developing installations for museums, special events, concert stages, and public spaces, using tools like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, LiDAR sensors, volumetric sensors and computer vision.
I have also developed software for specialized technical performances using systems such as Processing, Arduino, Notch, Python, Wire, and TouchDesigner.
Immersive spaces have surged in popularity in recent years, and I’ve been fortunate to work on ambitious projects, developing ultra-high-resolution content for immersive venues in over 10 countries worldwide.
While resolution is a crucial technical aspect, it’s the design of the content—crafted to be both gentle and surprising to the users’ perception—that truly stands out. In this area, I have achieved significant success.
