Inspiration for This Work

I was having dinner at a Chinese Restaurant and was looking at a lobster tank. I thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a bunch of moving legs?"

This is an interactive piece and is up now on my website.

Student Biography

Gad Tan is a multi-disciplinary designer exploring the aesthetics of virtual environments. His design is largely influenced by the strict typographical layouts present in print media as well as being dictated by bold and strong presentation of positive and negative space. At the same time, he explores the infinite possibilities of random generated procedural artwork.

Over the course of university, Gad has peppered his time during vacations with work. In 2005, he began a short-term internship with Charlie Lim Photography (Singapore, Shanghai), working closely together with Charlie himself in conceptualising his interactive portfolio. A year later, he commenced a brief placement with The Asylum in Singapore where, he worked with some of the most influential names in design and a broad base of clients.

Gad views his personal work as formative research for new ways to communicate ideas professionally. He believes in simplicity and clarity, both in his design process and everyday life.
