Nicolas Gebbe is a 3D artist, filmmaker, and sounddesigner born 1986 in London, currently working in Frankfurt am Main / Germany.
2018 he receives his art diploma at Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach with a film major. He focuses on experimental 3D animation and hybrid film formats.
Inspired by architecture and everyday spaces he likes to create digital worlds in 3D that catch the eye and find creative visual solutions for challenging ideas. His works are often based on existing spaces that surround us and our habitual movements within them in relationship to the digital reality. Separate aspects of these places and processes are isolated, alienated, combined, distorted. Realms that would otherwise withdraw themselves from our attention, are made visible. Intermediate dimensions are exposed, viewing habits questioned. In confrontation with the digital chaos, one is challenged to reflect on their own reality.
Main software he uses is Cinema4D / Redshift / X-Particles in combination with After Effects / Premiere / Photoshop. Furthermore he uses Touchdesigner and Unity for interactive experiences as well as ableton live and max for sounddesign and interactive audiovisual builds.
