Vasilis van Gemert website
Vasilis van Gemert is an artist interested in things that always repeat, yet are always different. He mostly uses web technology to make his art, but uses other code as well. Van Gemert is a lecturer at the CMD School of Digital Design in Amsterdam, where he teaches the next generation of digital product designers about designing and making websites that work for everybody. On top of that, he helps students at the Master program Design Research at the Piet Zwart institute to consciously shape their future practice.
His homepage is a collection of links, set in Electric Blue by Font Spectrum, designed by Daniël Maarleveld and Edgar Walthert and released via Future Fonts. The site employs a hover effect that utilises the multiplexed weights of the variable font, layering a lighter weight over the current one to create an inline effect. As the CSS wizard he is, Vasilis has programmed the colours to subtly shift over time or randomly recolour upon page reload. The website is fully responsive and will adapt to different screen dimensions.
