Rone

Street artist RONE creates stunning large-scale portraits of women’s faces. They can be found adorning soon to be forgotten spaces, acting as a commentary on gentrification and the masculine realm of street art. The 360° film and interactive VR art gallery takes the viewer inside Rone’s world: we follow him into the rarely-explored spaces in […]

Raba

This project combines the oldest and newest what we have – the immeasurable richness of untouched nature and the latest achievements in technology. The composition Raba was inspired by the profound beauty of Marimetsa bog in Estonia. Bogs, as the biggest reservoirs of clean water, carry also an association with the source of any life. […]

Repeating synth patterns, straight drum lines and lots of reverb on the vocals are characteristic for this style. Thus my concert for this artist is referring to the aesthetics of that era. Animations of analogue graphic computers (Scanimate) and early, […]

Geschichten aus Jerusalem

Four shorts of six to eight minutes in 360°/VR and 3D deal with life in the heart of the Mid-East conflict, told from a both an Israeli and Palestinian point of view and not without the dry humour characteristic for Dany Levy’s feature films. Their titles are “Faith”, “Love”, “Hope” and “Angst”. “Faith” is about […]
