For one weekend, the MIR station lands inside an industrial steel site, carrying sounds that range from ambient electronics to techno. 

I developed this narrative to guide the festival’s visual identity after its move to a new venue. Through 3D design, animation and sound, I created a world that connected the programme, the architecture and the festival’s communication.









Inspired by the festival’s relocation to an industrial construction site, the concept shifted toward a fictional landing scenario: a spacecraft arriving on Earth, fragmented by its journey. The visual identity was built from deconstructed 3D elements of the MIR spaceship, translated into motion graphics, spatial visuals, and sound-driven experiences.

Futuristic forms collide with raw industrial aesthetics, creating a visual tension that mirrors the festival’s sonic spectrum. Through animation, sound integration, and cross-disciplinary collaboration, the identity unfolds across digital platforms and physical space — turning the festival into a cohesive, narrative environment.

The identity imagines the MIR spaceship landing on Earth, sharing fragments of its journey. Using Blender, I deconstructed a 3D model of the spacecraft into modular elements, which formed the basis of the visual system. These components were animated and adapted across media — from social content and posters to stage visuals and on-site installations.






MIR Festival is an electronic music festival spanning genres from ambient synthesis to hard techno, complemented by workshops and interactive experiences. The project aimed to translate this diversity into a cohesive, immersive festival identity.

As a creative director, I developed the festival’s visual identity and narrative framework. Inspired by the Russian space station MIR — meaning “peace” — the concept evolved into a fictional cosmic journey. When the festival moved from a serene sculpture park to the raw, industrial setting of a steel construction site, this contrast became central to the narrative.

Using Blender, I deconstructed a 3D model of the spacecraft into modular elements, which formed the basis of the visual system.

The result is a narrative-driven festival identity that invites visitors to explore, discover, and move through a shared cosmic experience.
