This year again I have been working as a curator for the Demo Festival Yesterday (January 30th 2025) the main event happened in Amsterdam and I’ve had the honor to give a talk there, just like last time in 2022.

It’s a tradition that we, as curators, also develop motion graphics and submit them to the festival. In my talk I’ve reflected on my own process and explored the seemingly unusual idea of translating an ancient philosophical thought into a piece of motion design. This challenge has led me down some very interesting paths and I am excited to share the process with you.
