For over a decade, German artist Patric Ortmann (AKA MotionSickness) has been a sought-after Motion Design Artist, having worked for brands like Audi, Mercedes, VW, and Nike. He has made a name for himself, producing large-scale audiovisual media installations, concert visuals, and projection mapping for brands and well-known artists like The Weeknd. Apart from his client work, Ortmann has developed a unique aesthetic, looping 3D animations and audio. A lifelong learner, Ortmann’s practice is one of constant evolution as his fascination with new technology pushes him into possibilities, including his most notable artworks that feature Moebius-strip-like knots and loops that defy physical laws, work that is both tangibly figurative and textbook abstraction. The resulting aesthetic might be termed Sci-Fi Mysticism. Outside of visual fascination, Ortmann approaches the work of this figurative-abstraction with a scholarly rigor, referencing the symbolism of religious and esoteric practices like Hinduism, Buddhism, and mysticism to imbue his work with a deeper set of possible meanings.
