Welcome to Yaron Maïm Studio's page.

From visionary brands to boundary-pushing researchers and choreographers, we work across disciplines — especially where art-tech is overlooked.Berlin-based with a Swiss-French edge, we create cinematic experiences that move people. And markets.

Folding Landscape 01 is a research-based 3D animation where mathematics becomes cinematic. What if a simple fold could reshape a world? Inspired by polyomino folding, it follows topological transformation—closing holes and changing connectivity—through a poetic world of cubes, mountains, and valleys.

3D animation based on climate data—glacier mass balance from the World Glacier Monitoring Service—for the dance and digital theater production Songs & Dances About the Weather.

About the Studio Founder

Yaron Maïm is a cross-disciplinary expert working at the intersection of art, science, and creative technology. Their work moves between emotional resonance and procedural rigor, seeking a dynamic balance.

Their core question:

How do fixed ideas and materials shift through playful systems?

Work Ethos

Yaron Maïm Studio collaborates with researchers, designers, institutions, and communities invested in new ways of thinking, feeling, and structuring knowledge. Our projects span scientific outreach, immersive installations, editorial visuals, and creative technology workshops.At YMS, we love complexity and believe in making it accessible and alive. We create poetic systems of transformation.Our work moves between intuitive worldbuilding and procedural precision, blending emotional resonance with computational logic. Every project is a dialogue: between art and science, abstraction and embodiment, feeling and form.YMS’s work unfolds sequentially, yet resists linearity in structure. Each piece stands both independently and as part of a growing series that moves across genres and media. Inspired by natural ecosystems, where nothing exists in isolation and everything is interconnected, YMS’s body of work forms a living, collaborative, and recursive system. An experimental graphic novel, for instance, may become the seed for an XR installation, a live performance, or a 3D animation.Materiality plays a critical role in YMS’s approach to art and creative technology. Each technique carries its own meaning, shaping perception through the sensory experiences it creates. Whether digital or analog, 2D or 3D, still or moving, silent or sonic. For example, the powdery texture of pastels evokes the soft, ephemeral nature of clouds on paper, while Houdini, a procedural 3D software, enables iterative experimentation, making it ideal for projects like math visualizations.Across all formats, the practice remains grounded in core inquiries into abstraction, transition, and interdisciplinary creativity.

A Flexible Framework

Every project is a collaborative exploration. At YMS, we see the creative process as a medium of discovery in itself, not just a way to get somewhere, but a space to think, feel, and build together.Each step is designed to maintain clarity, keep your project on track, and help you to focus on what truly matters. With expertise in both technical and artistic tools, we tailor our approach to your unique needs, offering a perfect blend of structure and creative freedom.Together, we’ll transform your ideas into reality and navigate the uncertainties of the creative process with confidence. Whether you’re looking to visualize complex data through art, needing seamless creative direction, or seeking to merge art with cutting-edge technology, we’ll guide you through every step, ensuring your vision is brought to life.
