“The true object of all human life is play”
Audience engagement
. Our installations turns passive viewers into active participants. Real-time, interactive, sensory-driven, hands-on experience encourages physical interaction, longer dwell time and repeat visits.
Multi-sensory interface
Our tactile interface merges touch, spatial computing, and sensory feedback to create highly engaging, interactive environments. Attention to detail is high priority in our design process.
A few things we’re good at..
Real-time collaboration
Collaboration is at the heart of our creative projects. We bring together artists, technologists, schools, local communities, and organisations, so we can create and co-design immersive, inclusive, and impactful work.
Right to play
We uphold the rights of children to play, have freedom of expression and have access to arts and culture (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Article 31).

children Art Installations
Unlike static sculptures or traditional exhibitions, our installations engage audiences by responding to environmental factors, human interaction, or digital inputs. They incorporate interactive technology, light, sound, and kinetic elements. They serve as spaces for dance, performances, storytelling, and imaginative play.
Playful Interactive Exhibitions
Our creative exhibitions bring data and oral history collections to life through technology, interactivity, and immersive design. By inviting visitors to participate, explore, and co-create, we foster deeper connection, curiosity, and playfulness, transforming your information into a dynamic, shared experience.
“The interaction with light and music. I also like how you can feel the different textures of the coral. My daughters came on Saturday with my husband and I came back today and she showed me everything and how it worked.”
Parent feedback, Coral Garden
I love the ambition of immersive theatre and digital experience. I have not a preconceived idea of what it was. My child didn’t know what to expect so it was a bit difficult at the beginning but we liked it.
Parent Feedback, HOME:Zero
The Gift workshops were really inspirational and will prove to be extremely helpful moving forwards with our families in igniting enthusiasm and a passion for storytelling in so many different ways and in raising parental confidence.
