We recently had the pleasure of working with Julius Horsthuis to create the immersive mix and sound design for his “Fractal Horizons” experience with David Levy’s music, developed for a location-based dome experience for the Noor Festival of light and art in Riyadh that premiered in November 2022.
Julius Horsthuis (1980) is a visual effects designer and fractal artist whose work has been pushing the limits of computer graphics resulting in captivating visual splendour we call ‘fractal art’ - a blend between the abstract and cinematic animation. Named as “one of the 35 best XR experiences of 2019” by Forbes, Julius’s work has captivated audiences and gained recognition around the world since.
Horsthuis has made music videos for Max Cooper, Eric Serra, Meshuggah, and background visuals for Avicii, Lady Gaga, and many more. Some of his fractal visuals have also been featured in Guillermo del Toro’s “Cabinet of Curiosities” series. You can experience some of his otherworldly digital art experiences at museums, festivals, and dome installations in places such as Artechouse NYC, NXT Museum Amsterdam, Art Basel Miami, Coachella, IDFA, and many others. And in case you can’t travel to these locations, his immersive art is now available to experience even in Virtual Reality.
