Tobias Faisst is an AI director and visual artist with a background in still life photography, where he worked professionally for over a decade. He is the founder of PALAM, a 3D animation studio that collaborates with clients across the fashion, tech, and design industries. Over the past two years, his practice has expanded to include a wide range of AI tools, which he uses to translate conceptual ideas into experimental visual worlds. His current work explores the intersection of sculptural aesthetics, product design, and narrative structures, often merging the uncanny with the hyperreal. With a strong focus on progressive visual culture, he directs AI-generated images that probe new forms of storytelling and aesthetics. His projects frequently investigate future-forward visuals, blending synthetic textures and speculative forms to reimagine the role of objects and materials in digital space. Tobias’ prompts and images are featured in Spells Volume 2.
