Andreas Wannerstedt is a Swedish motion designer and artist creates colorful, animated art in his digital series, ‘Oddly Satisfying’.
Andreas Wannerstedt created the abstract series that splits into volumes of 3D animations. All videos are short loops of different interior objects and machines performing transfixing motions: including marbles rolling onto shafts, puzzle-piece configurations fitting together, and liquid textures twisting in perfect, endless circulation. Indeed, the animations are gratifying and indicative of the internet’s fascination with Autonomous sensory meridian response experiences, or ASMR: where colorful, looping graphics soothe the viewer’s psyche as they consume endless repetitions of digital content.
Andreas Wannerstedt is a Stockholm based artist and art director who crafts unique 3D sculptures and mesmerizing looping animations. The imagery of Andreas is both sophisticated and whimsical, featuring simple and playful geometric shapes in balanced compositions, together with organic textures and harmonizing color palettes. His perfectly synchronized animations have often been described as “oddly satisfying” since the overall effect evokes a strangely hypnotizing feeling which makes the viewer relaxed and even meditative. Although his animations are vaguely based on real-world behaviors, they often break the boundaries of tolerances, friction, and gravity, enabling endless motions of the cleanest order.
During the last 13 years, he’s been doing commissioned work for recognizable brands such as Google, Adidas, Ikea, Coca-Cola, Spotify, Absolut Vodka, Red Bull, Squarespace etc. His animations have fascinated millions of viewers around the world and his work has been highlighted on Vice, Behance Network, Designboom, Stash Magazine, Fubiz, Vimeo Staff-Pick, 9gag, UNILAD, VT, Huffington Post, Business Insider, LAD Bible, FWA, Designcollector, and Mindsparkle Mag among others.
