  • VC | EP13 - Lumi Khan/Double You , The Super Flowing , Light Eclipsing , Santa Claus Of Visuals

    e have an extremely special guest for episode 13 - one of the godfathers of modern day visuals @LumiKhan , formerly Martin Stebbing AKA Doubleyou!
    Lumi is the undeniable OG of high fidelity 3d generative visuals, headlining at the biggest festivals across the world and making content for some of the biggest brands and artists over the past 20+ years, he has been giving his state of the art visuals away for free in an open source vain for a decade and uploaded his entire library online a few years ago. He's an absolute force of nature and one of the nicest, kindest and most generous people I have ever met.
    In this insanely inspiring and authentic conversation, we get into Lumi's pursuit to be on the cutting edge and the inspirations throughout the years, from opening a visual studio at the advent of The berlin visuals scene and guerilla projections at the Bergheim, to being obsessed with rendering and cutting edge technology, we talk about the invention or discovery of Superflow together with Ian Clemer, simulations and the power of nature and organics, having his visuals be an inspiration for the killer show Devs, mocap magic and the beauty of motion and movement, having a life changing experience and changing his name and the extremely powerful notion of the Dark suck theory.
    For DoubleYou's set , we check out the super powerful Xenodream, and the way its used to make insanely cool looking fractal esque point clouds, and how to export them as 3d printing ready files.

    He has been creating beautiful imagery for over a decade and is a highly regarded and looked up to artist in the visual arts world.
    He has designed album covers, logos & visual packs for some of your favorite musical acts, has created some of the best selling and highest valued NFTS on the market and now he is taking over the VJ world with amazing and mind bending real-time visuals!
    In our convo we get into, being a the lead singer in a metal band, having been mentored and inspired by some of the greatest Visual artists of all time, creating/moderating amazingly useful communities of artists that creates massive inspiration and skill sharing and we get into psychedelics and the collective consciousness that Steven pulls a lot of his musing from.
    For Stevens SET we jump into NOTCH - regardless of my feelings towards this software, it's always a pleasure to see others using it in fresh and interesting ways, and it reminds me, how fun and intuitive it really is.
    Steven also jumps into TOOL3 which is a super cool node based real time engine with infinite possibilities and as Steven shows us, quite the powerful…Tool!
