Erwin Redl’s work is informed by conceptual-structural thinking and profound craftsmanship in electronic and traditional media.

The design is nice but it is stuck in an abstract realm. I am missing any thought beyond pretty shapes. I can't make sense of the text "...to which biophilic mimesis can be added or polarized and complete compass, and form a central space of magnetic convergence of attraction." The words mimic the design. I see and read a lot of "buzziness" without much conceptual or intellectual depth.
