Combining the arts of design and coding, French creative studio Trafik designs dynamic visual art and interactive environments then builds the custom applications necessary to realize them. In creating exhibitions, scenography, and other multimedia projects for institutional, cultural and industrial clients, Trafik’s five graphic artists and one programmer push their Macs to the limit, using special applications created in Xcode in combination with other creative applications as primary design tools. Although their work runs the spectrum from classic graphic design to new media, they have received special attention for their signature interactive work. For their Sonic Cube, a large illuminated canvas box shown recently at the contemporary art center, La Ferme du Buisson in Paris, they developed an interactive application that reacts to sound. In this and other projects, Trafik’s designers and coders have uniquely established themselves as “artists of programming.”
