About Erik Gen

Originally from Germany, with a Swiss design degree, Erik is now living in the US . He's a senior instructor for Digital Media. As a graphic designer working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and motion design, Erik explores AI as a generative tool—not to mimic existing aesthetics but to uncover a new, emergent visual language native to machine intelligence. Rather than using AI to replicate existing things, he is interested in its ability to reveal patterns, distortions, and structures that exist beyond traditional design paradigms.
