VC | EP17 - The Hive Master/Bjorn Jelinek - The Portal Opening, Stargate Engineer

We are opening portals and blasting off into other dimensions for Episode 17 with The Hive Master himself - Bjorn Jelinek. Besides for being the driving force behind the best stage to projection map on ever The mighty Hive portal at the Modem Festival in Croatia, Bjorn is a top dawg of all things fabrication, he is a master carpenter, a certified CNC and Laser cutter and a official teacher of Rhino3D and Grasshopper the go to tools for CAD software. Talking with Bjorn is like being connected directly to a multidimensional futuristic prism, it was a real honor for me to have him on the podcast and I'm so grateful for him giving us the time out of his busy schedule. We go deep into Bjorn’s roots growing up in the alps, being at the peak of psytrance parties in berlin, starting out as a string artist, joining the extra dimensional space agency, creating some of the most jaw dropping stages in the world, what it means to design from an authentic expressive outer realm, downloading messages from other worlds and other beings, Modem festival and opening portals, the power of crystals, the insanity of silicon and raising kids! For The Hive Masters set he graciously shows us his insane Grasshopper and Rhino setup and workflows and we take a look at the hive stage from modem festival and look at how its designed parametrically and how Bjorn gets the files ready for laser and CNC. This was one of the more Turned on, tuned in and dropped out episodes and it was such a pleasure getting to know Bjorn deeper and seeing his unbelievable workflows.
