Data-Orbit
Data-Orbit, founded in 2018, is the collaborative creative practice of Nayla Baumgartner, Fabio Menet, and Louis Vaucher. Their work navigates the intersection of typography, imagery, motion, and digital experiences to shape compelling visual narratives.
Data-Orbit functions as a reactor—a resonance chamber in which external impulses serve as catalysts for the creative process. Rather than fixed solutions, each project is a proposition—an exploration that challenges techniques, perceptions, and realities. The focus lies on constructing an overarching narrative that seamlessly integrates static and moving media. The results are precise, progressive, and meet the highest aesthetic and sustainability-driven standards. At the same time, these works remain in flux, adapting to new contexts, resonating, and organically evolving as they are used.

Friends / Collaborators
Data-Orbit thrives on polyphony. Our work is the result of an exchange with creative minds from a wide variety of fields. In each project, the various collaborators form a new entity in which roles are not fixed, but rather flexibly interpreted and challenged.
