About Studio A N F

Studio A N F is a Berlin-based studio creating generative, realtime and interactive systems for physical space. Its work combines computational art, realtime graphics, simulation, sensing and artificial intelligence across architecture, media façades and immersive environments.

Founded in 2008 by media artist and designer Andreas Nicolas Fischer, the studio has developed computational work across software, screens, installations and architecture for more than fifteen years. The underlying approach remains consistent: rather than designing fixed sequences of images, Studio A N F builds systems that generate, evolve and, where appropriate, respond to their surroundings.

What Studio A N F does

  • Media architecture. Permanent computational artworks developed specifically for architectural LED surfaces, media façades, atriums and large-scale displays.
  • Interactive systems. Realtime environments that use cameras, sensors and live data to perceive activity and respond dynamically.
  • AI & adaptive media. Neural generation, computer vision and machine-learning models integrated into larger realtime systems.
  • Realtime environments. Generative visual systems computed continuously for architectural displays, lobbies and immersive spaces.
  • Generative systems. Rule-based computational works, visual identities and physical outputs produced from systems rather than fixed compositions.

A systems-based practice

Studio A N F approaches digital media as something that can behave rather than simply play back. Algorithms, simulations and generative rules define how a work develops over time, while sensors, data and machine-learning models can extend those systems with perception and adaptation.

The studio's practice moves between art, design and engineering. Projects can exist as autonomous software artworks, permanent architectural installations, interactive environments or computational systems translated into print and physical form.

Technology is selected according to the requirements of the work rather than determining its aesthetic. Current projects combine realtime graphics engines, GPU computation, custom shaders, simulation, computer vision and neural models where they provide meaningful behaviour or new visual possibilities.

Andreas Nicolas Fischer

Andreas Nicolas Fischer is a Berlin-based media artist and generative designer working with computational systems, generative processes and digital media. He began developing generative software work in 2007 and founded Studio A N F in Berlin in 2008.

Fischer graduated from the Berlin University of the Arts, where he studied under Professors Joachim Sauter and Jussi Ängeslevä. His practice has developed from early generative software and physical works into large-scale realtime installations and permanent media architecture.

Selected clients and collaborators
