Life is a constant flow of constant change. Have you ever asked yourself where these forces come from? The universal language of a power knot has been described by many cultures, but none have yet gotten to its core or seen any of the occult places where These Knots exist.
In „O∞ULT PLACES,“ Patric Ortmann (MotionSickness) invites us to consider the origin of this power and the sacred occult times in which the knots twist forever and release their power into the universe and lead us into an audiovisual journey to four unique occult places where we can rest for a while…or eternity…

For over a decade, Patric Ortmann has been a sought-after Motion Design Artist, having worked for brands like Audi, Mercedes, VW, and Nike. He has made a name for himself, producing large-scale audiovisual media installations, concert visuals, and projection mapping for brands and well-known artists like The Weeknd.
Apart from his client work, Ortmann has developed a unique aesthetic, looping 3D animations and audio. A lifelong learner, Ortmann’s practice is one of constant evolution as his fascination with new technology pushes him into new realms of possibility.
These new works are a continuation of the artist’s ∞KNOTS∞ Collection, which debuted on MakersPlace in November 2021 and sold out after bidding wars on all three pieces.
The first Drop featured the Knots as they might appear in a contemporary museum installation. In this Drop, the artist has taken the concept one step further to show them placed into mystic places.
The mystic knot is known under many synonyms, like the eternal knot, the endless knot, or the lucky diagram. The knot has many meanings and is used by many cultures. It originated in India as a sign on Vishnu’s chest. The Knot is a strong symbol and brings abundance and good fortune to its owner. In Buddhism, the mystic knot is the sixth of the eight auspicious symbols and has many other meanings, like compassion and wisdom. In Asian culture, the mystic knot is also connected to long life, harmony, and continuity.
