Pictoplasma, the world’s leading platform for contemporary character design and art, was launched in 1999 by Peter Thaler and Lars Denicke to investigate possibilities and limitations of current character representation.
The project pushes forward interdisciplinary discussion, development and promotion of a new breed of visual vocabulary—from illustration to animation, toy to product design, games and digital culture, urban to graphic arts. Having built a global community of creatives and producers, Pictoplasma holds annual conferences in Berlin and New York, offers programs for further education, curates museum exhibitions, publishes books, consults brands and companies and continues to accompany the scene as it moves towards a completely new understanding of character.
