Hi! I'm Leon, an interaction designer based in Zurich. I work at the intersection of design, research, and technology – with a focus on making complex systems legible and questioning the structures that shape how we live and decide.

IKARUS (2023)

Creative Coding, Game Design, Interaction Design

TouchDesigner, Blender, After Effects

In recent years, human progress and its impact on the Earth has increased exponentially - so much so that we are already talking about a new geological age: the Anthropocene. Although this progress has made humanity stronger and more autonomous throughout history, today there is a danger that it will cause great harm to ourselves.

The work "Ikarus" uses the Greek myth of the same name as a metaphor for representing the possibilities and dangers of our progress. With the help of an interactive installation, these aspects can be explored and reflected upon, this is intended to create space for the critical examination of our own human development.

As part of the media design course at the Duale Hochschule Baden- Württemberg Ravensburg.
