Notch Design & Server Blocks
_
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.
Generative and procedural content.
_
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.
Live events. Concerts, parties and special shows.
_
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.
Interactive Installations.
_
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.
Content for immersive shows.
_
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.
