Nightm0ves is a post-minimal collaboration between designer Douglas Filiak and composer Joel Pickard, reducing animation to it’s most basic principles. Focused on the art of simplicity through geometric forms and analog synthesizers, Nightm0ves become a hypnotic display of looping compositions that are as much intended for a gallery wall as they are for a mobile screen.
