For young, British fashion designer Thomas Wakeford, we created a sci-fi inspired narrative about a girl, a drummer and a watchful owl. Fast-cut, tantalizing storyline of transcendence and the supernatural, touching on ideas of power, control and questions of femininity.
Für das junge britische Modelabel Thomas Wakeford erfanden wir eine von Science Fiction inspirierte Geschichte mit einem Mädchen, einem Schlagzeuger und einer Eule über Transzendenz und das Übernatürliche, Macht, Kontrolle und die Fragen von Femininität.

Promo for Blotto Design's experimental project of printing an entire book on a 70 x 100 cm poster. We plotted the coordinates of certain phrases within the text, then filmed with a microscopic camera mounted onto a CNC machine, which travelled along the programmed route over the poster, creating the illusion that the fully functioning self-built robot is reading the text of its own accord.

So entsteht der Eindruck, dass der eigens für diese Produktion gefertigte, funktionstüchtige Roboter die Texte selber liest.
