During Berlin New Media Week, I participated in BODY OF WORK, a new interview format event at Studio1111 together with Marius Rehmet aka VOJD, a prolific digital graphics artist known for shaping the identity of the CTM Festival @vojdvojd @studio1111berlin @berlinnewmediaweek Hosted by Amelia McConville, we did an interview and talked about our work, the future of digital arts, how the creative scene in Berlin continues to evolve, and various topics around the state of technology today. It was a great way to connect with the community in a casual yet professional setting @amelia_mcconv Afterwards, VOJD did a performance (as MAROW) on the 270 degree immersive screen, and then I played Cychotic 2.0 with musician Max Dahlhaus who this year did a successful Asia tour in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, in support of his album released on the Taiwanese label Over My Body @maxdahlhaus @overmybody.tw The evening came together with an amazing atmosphere and good vibes, with snacks by Li @kytrep Special thanks to Antonia, Kiara, Younes, Sebastian, and Joost for organizing the evening @antoantocreative @kreiskuki @whyyyyyyynes @hdsht_pink @joosthel And thanks to everyone who joined us, we hope to see you again at the next event! ✨✨✨ Music: LXO from the album Parhelion by MAROW (VOJD’s music alter ego) #defasten #berlín #berlincreatives #exhibition #digitalartist #digitalart #interview #cgi #3dartists #features #immersiveexperience #festival #realtimerendering #madewithnotch #notchvfx #newmediaartist

I’m thrilled to be showing work at MIRA Festival in Barcelona this November 8-9, with an awesome lineup of shows including A. G. Cook of PC Music, BICEP, Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth, Robin Fox, μ-Ziq (Planet Mu), Rafael Toral, The Body & Dis Fig, and more. I’m presenting the fulldome version of Mirrored Madness, made with award-winning Danish sound artist SØS Gunver Ryberg who recently played at the Venice Biennale @labiennale , and opened for Autechre (?!!) See u in Barcelona! 🏝️🍹🌞 design, animation: Patrick Defasten sound: @sos_gunver_ryberg MIRA Festival November 8 - 9, 2024 / Barcelona @mirafestival In Mirrored Madness, an ecosystem of cyber organisms unfurl their forms, pulsing to life with hypercomplexity, revealing the sinuous contours of their intricate, biomorphic designs. The dynamic visual aesthetic proposes a positive futurism, like a new digital bioarchitecture to frame the depth of sounds established in the concept behind the album ‘‘SPINE’’ by the award-winning Danish sound artist SØS Gunver Ryberg released on her label ARTERIAL. made with @notchvfx #fulldome #immersiveexperience #immersivemusic #virtualworld #realtimerendering #motiongraphics #notchvfx #madewithnotch #defasten #electronicmusic #ambientmusic #experimentalmusic #solarpunk #musicvisualization #digitalart #new_media_art #artandtechnology #creativeart #mirafestival #barcelona

Introducing EMERGENCE, the inaugural spec ad for SOLUS NEXUS, the AI-native production site of @defasten , dedicated to the craft of generating synthetic experiences for human-centered realities. @solusnexuss The boundary between the biological and the synthetic is no longer a line, but a transitional flow. EMERGENCE displays the synergy of humanity and its machine counterpart: technology not only as a tool, but as a definite, inexorable evolution, co-existing, yet born out of human nature. From the depths of the ocean current to harnessing the combined power of artificial and natural forces, we engage with the new genesis of this next creative era.

It’s true - I’ve been experimenting with generative AI since over a month. Where is this all going? How is it so good now? How good will it be in 2027 and beyond? Am I still a digital artist? Am I now a gen AI artist? Will Hollywood collapse? Is Entertainment Culture over? Will AI outlast us? For now, I’m adapting to the changing market flow and will be posting more AI content like everyone else But in the classic yet changing defasten style Evolving since 2002 ps: image rendered in Nano Banana Pro with @florafaunaai pps: don’t forget to get your 10K steps per day, outdoors 🚶🏻‍♂️🏃🏻👨🏻‍🦼‍➡️ #ai #defasten #comingoutday

Here’s the full revised line-up for Body of Work 3 at Studio1111! Sign up on the Luma page, buy tickets at the door Body of Work 3: Post-Rave Aesthetics 🗓 Thu 19 March 2026 📍@studio1111berlin 🔗 Event link in bio ❇️ SCHEDULE ❇️ 21:00 ARTIST TALK Colors And The Kids (@colorsandthekids ) PFA Studios (@pfa__studios ) Santabro (@santabro ) Hosted by Amelia McConville (@amelia_mcconv ) ❇️ 22:30 LIVE AV SANTABRO - VJ REDFEM - DJ (@femthered ) ❇️ 23:30 DJ SET KINTEL (@kintel.plays ) # Tickets at the door 10€ 8€ students with ID 15€ after 22:00 # The evening brings together creatives embedded into the evolving Berlin digital arts scene - from old school pioneers to the new school breed - working at the intersection of music, motion, digital art, and international market trends. They explore how the visual language of post-rave aesthetics continues to shape contemporary visual systems today. What began in progressive club culture in parallel to access with early digital software, DIY flyers, and club-born experimentation at the onset of Internet 1.0, it has since evolved into a global visual grammar influencing everything from music visuals to brand identities, design, fashion, and large-scale immersive digital environments. For this edition, we’ve invited artists whose practices blur the boundaries between sound and image, showing how live visuals, design, and motion graphics remain deeply connected to electronic music culture and its evolving aesthetics.

I’m so glad to introduce to you another one of the invited speaker at Body of Work 3 that I co-curated: @colorsandthekids Colors And The Kids is a creative company. They develop visual worlds, brand systems, campaigns, and sonic identities, treating image, motion, and sound as one discipline. The name is a daily reminder: trust your intuition, stay open, approach everything without prejudice. The work is about evoking emotion. Built on love, partner-led since 2008. Their portfolio spans global campaigns for Nike, Lego, and Apple, and award-winning audio-visual work for IBM. Precision matters, but it comes from somewhere deeper. Every project is pulled from the same pond of care, whether it’s a product launch or an entire sound world for a new service. The studio has exhibited work in Antwerp, Mumbai, New York, among others. For the Bauhaus Dessau centenary, CATK created a large-scale audio-visual installation, a full-circle moment since all partners studied at Bauhaus University Weimar. They run the independent music label Running on Cliffs. The line between commercial and artistic output was never drawn in the first place. # Body of Work 3: Post-Rave Aesthetics 🗓 Thu 19 March 2026 📍@studio1111berlin 🔗🔗🔗 Event link in bio with PFA Studios @pfa__studios Santabro (Live AV set) @santabro and DJ sets by Mongolian DJ @kintel.plays and @femthered (London) #bodyofworkworldwide #creativeberlin #berlindesign #motiondesign

BIFURCATION (2026) Preview 3 Sound by @xi_n________ Visual design: @defasten # in zero-state, the nucleus at its genesis, suspended latent mass, exotic matter collapsing states of fragmentation within extant zones of (de)existence sonic density, waveform spectral crush ruptured flux, fluid dimensions reverberating magnitudes coherence, formless, emergent # BIFURCATION is an experimental audio-reactive visual 3D work exploring transformation, instability, and emergent forms through real-time generative visuals. Continuous states of transformation, the reassembly of abstract geometries, driven by procedural systems, virtual spatial logic, and sonic pressure. Fragmented geometries split, collide, and reform to generative driven parameters, creating a sense of flux between precision and instability.
