Interactive: Han Hoogerbrugge



During my research I have come across Han Hoogerbrugge. Hoogerbrugge, form the Netherlands, started out as a painter and cartoonist but now focuses on digital media. He is the creator of the extremely popular Modern Living Neurotica series as well as his current interactive series Hotel, created for the online Submarine Channel. Regarding his work he says "I want to put just enough in one animation to keep your attention, but at the same time leaving you hungry and wanting to see more." This is very interesting to me as he is limiting his animations, forcing himself to be more creative in what is added.

What's great about Hans' animations is that they don’t serve any other end other than to entertain. It's not navigation. It's not informational. It's a mildly interactive form of art that is both stylish and engaging.

Below are some of his creations:

Crisis, What Crisis?
Penis Envy
Public Opinion
Year of the Pig
Hotel
Flow
