My characters are always simplistic, so the viewer can easily transport themselves into the works and the characters' situation.
As humans we are very sensitive to the movement of a thing [...] when an artificial character does these movements, it triggers a reaction in us, we see something strangely familiar.
Whilst light and humorous to observe, they do often leave you sympathising with a somewhat existential suffering, as we watch one of Stephan's characters attempt a tattoo, a painting or the creation of a sculpture with little to no luck and some wonderfully messy failures in movement.
Through his animations, Stephan has created simulations in which the characters themselves are making generative art, a process that he thinks is all too often "about the pretty picture generated", he says.
