The plugins pay for the research; the client work is where the same obsession with light goes when someone else is art-directing. Mostly motion wallpaper systems — the animated backdrops that ship preinstalled on flagship phones, built to loop forever and run on a battery.
Selected work
Horoptr — Dominik Bargiel
horopter /həˈrɒptə/ noun · optics
The set of points in space that fall on corresponding points in both retinas, and are therefore seen as single. Everything off it doubles, quietly, without you noticing.
Horoptr is a one-person studio building tools for film and post. The work starts from how something actually behaves — light through a lens, the way a fluid moves — and turns that into plugins fast enough to art-direct.
How the tools get made
Every tool begins as a physical question — what does a lens do to a highlight, how does a fluid carry what it is given — and is only worth shipping once it answers that fast enough to scrub a timeline against. Physics first, performance second.
