WHO WE ARE
"EXPERIMENT, INVESTIGATE AND CONNECT THINGS TOGETHER TO CREATE LIVE USER EXPERIENCES"
We are a collective of creative and technical designers that bring a space, a live performance or an art piece to life by making it responsive and intelligent. We create custom software and adapt existing technologies to create new types of experiences. Our leitmotiv: seamlessly leverage technology to create better experiences.
We typically work on a project from concept to production. During initial brainstorms, we like to suggest technologies and methods that take ideas to the next level.
We love being the technical mastermind behind an artist's idea as much as we like to create a piece from the ground up. We have a large network of artists, experience designers, audio and video engineers, costume designers, technology providers,... we work with to be able to tackle all aspects of a project. We also welcome the opportunity to collaborate with new teams!
