A few things we’re great at

Our proficiency lies in combining traditional craftsmanship with interactive technologies to develop tangible interfaces.

Audience Engagement

Audience engagement is essential for making our creative projects impactful, memorable, and inclusive. 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 tactile Interface

Our tactile interface merges touch, spatial computing, and sensory feedback to create highly engaging, interactive environments. These interfaces go beyond traditional screens, allowing users to physically feel, manipulate, and experience sound, motion, robotics and visual elements in real-time

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. Whether in our public art installation, digital experiences, or educational initiatives,

Mixed Reality Art Installations

Our installation art experiences blends movement, interactivity, and spatial design to create immersive, ever-changing experiences.

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

Engaging All Ages Through Creativity, Technology, & Playful Participation

Audience engagement is now an active, immersive experience—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. Our most recent exhibition commission for Small Steps Big Changes (SSBC) – was to design to share the story of their The National Lottery Community Fund’s ‘A Better Start’ ten-year programme, which commenced in 2015 and will reach its planned end in March 2025.

Testimonials

“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. We can`t wait to get back to face to face groups to use these fantastic ideas!
