I think design is at the heart of many things and at the center of many Venn diagrams. Between people’s lives, physical places and construction engineering is architectural design. Between people’s lives, information needs and communication technology is graphic design or web design or 3D design, and so on.
Design is not a visual layer we can pour over existing things. It is about understanding complex situations, inventing new solutions, embedding them in psychology, ensuring their technical feasibility, and organizing your capabilities and methods to push from conception to production, while maintaining the original intent of the project.

For over 25 years now, I have been active in video art. This involves 3D production, video editing, and sometimes live VeeJay-ing. The key advantage this has given me, is that I’m now very flexible with digital production methods, allowing for ambitious projects with tight deadline requirements.
One of the highlights for me was working with World Opera Lab, helping to produce visuals that were part of a beautiful musical performance.
