Chris Kievid & Lars van Vianen
Interactivst is the collaborative practice of Chris Kivied and Lars van Vianen, a creative duo working at the intersection of design, technology, art, and human interaction. Driven by a shared fascination with how people experience and engage with digital and physical environments, they create projects that transform ideas into immersive, participatory experiences.
Their work combines creative direction, interactive design, emerging technologies, and storytelling to develop installations, digital experiences, exhibitions, and experimental concepts that invite audiences to explore, connect, and contribute. By blending technical innovation with a strong focus on human-centered design, Interactivst creates work that is both visually compelling and intellectually engaging.
Chris Kivied and Lars van Vianen approach each project as an opportunity to investigate new forms of interaction and communication. Their practice is rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and a belief that meaningful experiences emerge when creativity and technology are brought together with purpose. Whether working with cultural institutions, public spaces, brands, or independent initiatives, they seek to create moments that encourage participation, reflection, and discovery.
Through Interactivst, Kivied and Van Vianen continue to push the boundaries of interactive media, exploring how design and technology can foster deeper connections between people, places, and ideas. Their work reflects a commitment to innovation, experimentation, and the creation of experiences that leave a lasting impact on audiences.

Colour in Motion
Colour in Motion introduces a cutting-edge approach to space design by integrating findings from neuroaesthetics and perceptual color theory. This groundbreaking wall coverings redefine architecture, moving beyond mere visual appeal and practicality.
Through the use of scientifically inspired micropatterned textures that shift in color depending on the viewer's perspective, the experience of space is transformed—boosting comfort, concentration, and sensory engagement.
The pattern, colors, size and scale of fabric panels are fully adaptable, tailored to meet the specific spatial requirements of any environment. This design can be applied to a variety of eco-friendly materials, including, bio cotton canvas and aluminum dibond.
Available Size: all, framed or unframed
Material: various
Cypher I - II - III
The Cypher artworks fuse narrative storytelling with scientific analysis visualizing complex systems. Through bespoke data paintings, encapsulating these narratives in a tangible and visual form that engages both intellect and emotion. The Data becomes the paint, the algorithm the brush, and the system itself the artist.
Sonic measurements in deep-sea areas, life cycles of wind turbines or scientifically measured color transformations are subjects in various Cypher works. Using micro-patterned various thin and thick layers of paint textures, the experience of the painting becomes a visually and sensory strong engagement from various angles.
