Interview with Mathias Weil

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
I wanted to become a photographer in my early years. however, my parents were more interested in learning a "serious" profession. after my apprenticeship and a few years of work, i decided to reorient my career and successfully turned my hobby into a profession.
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
The agency VR360° was born out of my passion for vr-photography and drone flying. during a 10-month build-up phase the agency started and has continued to expand since then.
What is "design" for you?
My photography is the door for me to show other old familiar views in new light, to discover new perspectives on the environment and to pass them on.
What kinds of works do you like designing most?
All kinds of photography and 3d-design, I always discover new and interesting possibilities!
What was the first thing you designed for a company?
The Annual Report (a magazin with 80 pages) of the ZSW (Centre for Solar Energy and Water Stuff Research Baden-Württemberg) in Stuttgart, Germany 1996.
What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
VR-Technology, high resolution photography, and the Maxon software Cinema 4D
What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
1. How can I make it even better and more interesting? 2. I always try to feel free and unprejudiced while designing.
What makes a design successful?
When it awakens emotions, makes you think and stays in your memory.
How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
It's hard to say, design is constantly evolving, new techniques are constantly being developed. design will always come in new forms.
When was your last exhibition and where was it? And when do you want to hold your next exhibition?
I haven't had my own exhibition yet. I'm currently working on a virtual viewing experience without a VR headset - more will not be revealed yet!
Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
Mother nature, landscapes, architecture and commercial construction and road landscapes.
What are 5 of your favorite design items at home?
My Mac, my car, the parfume of my girlfriend, a old chair from the 18th century and a lot of books.
Can you describe a day in your life?
Getting up, coffee, shower, checking e-mails, checking appointments, off to shooting, or to the office, coffee, taking pictures or editing pictures on the computer, relaxing with friends, eating something and if necessary back to the office or shooting. the end is between 1 and 2 o'clock at night.
Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?
I use every minute of free time to find new things or to work on designs. I think a lot of designers having a problem with that - me too. :)
How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
das ist schwer vorherzusagen, ideen kommen und gehen und sind nicht an zeit gebunden ... "die gedanken sind frei" (old german folk song)
What was your most important job experience?
A hdr-panorama photo shooting on the aletsch glacier in switzerland at minus 16° C
