ABOUT
Sophie is a motion designer, VJ and artist based in San Francisco, CA. She balances her time between freelance motion graphics and her own artwork.

Thinking of projections as “moving wallpaper”, Sophie first creates animated pieces with After Effects, which she then mixes live using VDMX5. Sophie strives to create “evolving” digital paintings by layering pieces with animated masks and rhythmic effects. Inspired by plants, natural landscapes, music, and electronic gear, Sophie always explores the balance between the organic and inorganic. When her animations are projected large-scale and paired with music it creates an immersive, surreal space.

Motion Designer and artist Sophie Baker has a background in fine art, which she developed far beyond the canvas, turning to video and animation to realize her creative vision. She now imagines surreal, evolving landscapes with abstract textures using specialist animation software to create immersive visual environments that have become a fixture in San Francisco's electronic music scene in the last couple of years. Baker notably performed at MUTEK SF last year alongside local artist Sepehr, offering her colorful alien landscapes to his acclaimed electro experiments, and has also performed alongside Chris Cruse, DJ Seinfeld, Maya Jane Coles and many others.
