Benjamin Ressi

[EN] Benjamin Ressi blends graphic, motion, and generative design to create coherent, systematic visual languages. His work explores how transformative design can enhance the versatility of visual systems, with a focus on building interdisciplinary frameworks. Driven by a fascination for a system-based approach to visual communication he aims for contemporary designs that offer new perspectives to visual experiences.

In seinem Zugang zu Design untersucht er, wie transformative Gestaltung die Vielseitigkeit visueller Systeme erweitern kann, mit einem Fokus auf der Erweiterung interdisziplinärer Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Getrieben von einer Faszination für systembasierte Ansätze in der visuellen Kommunikation strebt er nach einer zeitgenössischen Gestaltung, die neue Perspektiven für visuelle Strategien ebnet.

Visual mission


„Erinnerungsschock“ ➊

[DE] Für Platon sind momenthafte eingehende Erfahrungen die Folge der erinnernden Verbindung mit dem Reich der Ideen: “Platon zufolge löst der Anblick des Schönen einen Erinnerungsschock aus, der den Schauenden aus seinen Normalansichten von der trivialen Ding- und Personenumwelt heraussprengt. Inmitten Tausender alltäglicher Anblicke von Zeug, von Menschenkörpern, von Umständen, leuchten in auserwählten Augenblicken Gestalten auf, die der Seele bezaubernd nahegehen. In der Unruhe über solche Anblicke fühlt sich der Sehende wie auf eine andere Bühne transportiert. Er spürt, daß in der gegenwärtigen Erscheinung, sei es ein Menschengesicht oder ein Kunstwerk, ein Ur-Anblick nach ihm greift und ihn der Alltäglichkeit entzieht.” — Sloterdijk, Peter, Sphären I: Blasen, Frankfurt/M. 1998: Suhrkamp, S.143f.

[EN] For Plato, momentary experiences are the result of a reminiscent connection with the realm of ideas: According to Plato, the sight of beauty triggers a shock of memory that tears the observer out of their normal views of the trivial world of things and people. In the midst of thousands of daily encounters with objects, humans, or circumstances there are moments when certain forms shine forth, captivating the soul. In the restlessness stirred by such visual encounters, the observer feels as if transported to another stage. They sense that within the present appearance – whether it be a human face a work of art or design – an archetypal image is reaching out to them, pulling them away from the ordinary. — Sloterdijk, Peter, Spheres I: Bubbles, Frankfurt/M. 1998: Suhrkamp, pp. 143ff.
