Space of Impulses is a spatial art installation Paul Schneider and I created 2023 for Mozilla’s Reclaim the Internet exhibition. It translates the vision of an open internet into a spatial experience of inspiration, presence and reflection. At the centre of the work is a sculptural cloud of 1,441 paper strips, mapped to major global data nodes. In real time, the installation generates AI-driven impulses, which are printed by 16 custom build thermal printers onto colorful paper as spontaneous, evolving thoughts. Immersed in colour, these fragments represent the diversity and constant motion of the web, while a generative soundscape adds unpredictability and depth. Ten mirrors engraved with Mozilla’s Manifesto principles merge visitor reflections with the impulses, presenting the web as a collective space shaped by creativity, diversity and openness.

Flos Machina - Nocturnal Bloom 

 After the day’s interactions fade, the flower continues its silent choreography, moving and glowing in resonance with its own rhythm. Detached from external impulses, it reveals another layer of its behavior: subtle gestures, slow oscillations, and shifting gradients of light emerging from the darkness. 

 This second part of Flos Machina focuses on the autonomous life of the object, an exploration of motion and light without human interaction. 

 Built as an experimental prototype with articulated LED panels, 3D-printed PETG parts, and custom control software developed with @madewithvvvv Thanks again to @thenodeinstitute for hosting the final presentation in Berlin.

Flos Machina - Resonance in Bloom Earlier this year, I developed the prototype of an interactive flower together with @katiipe as part of an ongoing collaborative concept exploring interaction, attention, and resonance. For the final presentation of @anamirbast “Creative Robotics” Masterclass, I extended the prototype with a custom mount for a KUKA robotic arm, brought in and supported by Nils Weger and Prof. Olaf Hirschberg from @hsm.zbm Using VL.Bunraku, we linked the robotic movements with the flower’s behavior: When a face enters its field of view, it pauses, opens, and begins a soft, hypnotic light choreography. When the person turns away, it closes and continues its search. The object combines 3D-printed PETG parts, articulated LED panels, and a centrally placed camera for face detection. Everything wirelessly controlled with @madewithvvvv Many thanks to @thenodeinstitute for hosting the final presentation in Berlin. Interested in the process or similar collaborations?

These four vases have just made their way to friends in Frankfurt. Each one was created using the same Grasshopper script – a result of my ongoing work with parametric design and 3D printing. I use the vase format as a kind of testbed: to try out forms, colors, and ways to improve both the look and feel of printed objects. For this set, I added glass inserts to increase stability, make them easier to clean, and give the pieces a bit more presence. If you're interested in one of these prototypes or want to explore an idea together – feel free to send me a message. #3DPrinting #ParametricDesign #CreativeTechnology #Prototyping #Grasshopper3D #Rhino3D #DigitalFabrication #3DPrintedVases #MinimalDesign #DesignExploration #ModernCraftsmanship #CustomDesign

What started as an experiment in 2019 has evolved into a journey of constant exploration. With my custom Grasshopper plugin, I was able to balance parametric design with efficient manufacturing using materials such as recycled PLA and PETG. Over time, I gained a deeper understanding of 3D printing technologies, exploring various tools, methods, and materials to deliver custom solutions for my clients. I look forward to sharing behind-the-scenes content, project highlights, and insights on different materials.

Coming up this THURSDAY MAY 23rd / Integrating Rhino3D with vvvv Unlock new possibilities for your 3d workflow by seamlessly integrating Rhino3D with vvvv and VL.Stride, powered by the mighty VL.Rhino3dm library. In this workshop, led by Wolf Moritz Cramer (@wolfmoritzcramer ), computational designer, architect and the developer behind the VL.Rhino3dm library, we will explore how to seamlessly connect Rhino’s with vvvv’s real-time visualization and interactive programming environment.
