What’s it about?

This new issue of Radar is dedicated to spheres that form part of Parasol Island’s DNA: film, animation, and digital media. These disciplines are blending more and more as holistic communication strategies and integrated working methods come to the fore. Even in such a dynamic environment, pandemic action has proved to be an innovation booster. Here, we report on work-from-home film productions, avatars driving designer fashion, and camera drones that think for themselves. In Berlin, we met Oliver Latta, who under the alias EXTRAWEG shapes the campaigns of international brands with his enigmatic style. The art director and 3D artist talked to us about the influence of his million-strong Instagram following on his work, the viewing habits of Generation Z, and his latest project with Ben Stiller.
