Managing Creative Energy
What is creative energy and how does it link to our mental health? How do we get unblocked when creative work feels forced or frustrating instead of joyful? This talk explores creativity as an energy source - what fuels it, what drains it, and how to build a more stable creative energy flow. Through career stories and trial-and-error insights, Salla Hiiskoski shares practical tools and techniques for overcoming blocks, avoiding burn-out and sustaining creativity in the long run.
Procedural Play
Bouncing back and forth between his day job as a game artist and his night shift as a procedural tinkerer, Nikola will share how proceduralism has slowly creeped into all of his workflows and ways of artistic life. This talk will showcase his way of cross-pollinating between his day job and personal work, not chasing perfection but having fun while experimenting.
The Art of Mixing Styles
In this talk, I will show you one of my latest creations, where two styles and a good knowledge in design make you create a unique piece. We will see what knowledge is necessary to make an object highlight through its functionality, asymmetry, shape and colors. I look forward to seeing you soon!
