Immersive Interactive Experiences

Immersive & Interactive Experiences
SURROUNDING AUDIENCES IN LIGHT, SOUND, AND STORY

We specialise in designing fully immersive environments where projection surrounds the audience — transforming physical space into a living, responsive canvas.

These installations can evolve in real time, adapting to movement, sound, and presence.

Whether housed in a gallery, a music venue, or a bespoke structure, each project is tailored to its specific architecture and atmosphere — from intimate, sculptural enclosures to large-scale, site-responsive environments.

Our content isn’t just cinematic — it can also be generative and interactive, reacting live through systems such as:

Motion tracking
Audio-reactive visualisation
Sensor-based triggers
Real-time generative effects using Notch and Disguise

This allows each visitor to influence the experience, making every encounter unique and emotionally engaging.

We’ve created immersive installations across a wide range of settings, including:

Galleries and museums
Public spaces and shopping centres
Music venues, clubs, and bars
Warehouses and industrial sites
Bespoke projection-mapped environments
Unconventional locations like climbing centres and sports facilities

From initial concept and content creation to technical design, system integration, and on-site delivery, we handle every stage of production — ensuring a seamless blend of art and technology.

Below are a few examples of our immersive installations.

Tom - Wilkie Branson

"A sublime, slow-burn study of isolation"

Part dance performance, part film, this solo show is a note-perfect portrayal of the all-consuming nature of loneliness" Lyndsey Winship, The Guardian

TOM is an emotionally charged dance-for-camera installation by Wilkie Branson, an award-winning choreographer and filmmaker known for fusing the raw physicality of b-boying with innovative digital storytelling.

Set in a liminal space — a hinterland between civilisation and wilderness — TOM follows one man’s introspective journey to reconnect with his identity, navigating themes of isolation, memory, and rediscovery. The result is a deeply personal and visually rich experience, told through movement, sound, and shifting digital landscapes.

The physical installation features a unique setup of three Pepper’s Ghost scrim gauzes, onto which the film is projection mapped. This layered configuration creates a ghostly, almost pop-up book effect — allowing audiences to engage with the piece as if stepping inside a living, three-dimensional memory.

From the use of animation and digital scenography to surround sound and multi-perspective visuals, TOM blurs the lines between cinema, dance, and installation art — placing the viewer in the heart of the narrative.

Tom is chosen as part of the Venice Dance Biennale 2021.

Djanogly Art Gallery 'Highfields Lido' Installation

During the summer of 2017 we helped the Djanogly Arts Gallery make a splash by helping them celebrate 25 years of Nottingham Lakeside Arts.

Creating a fully immersive installation within the Djanogly Gallery we re-imagined the old Highfields Park Lido, Nottingham largest outdoor swimming pool which was previously on the exact same site. The commission took visitors through a unique and interactive dip through the decades, from the opening of the Lido in 1924, to its final season in 1980, and on to the opening of the Djanogly Gallery in 1992.

Eight projectors, two media servers, and two Kinect Cameras were required to fully cover the 130m2 gallery space with the artwork that included 13 true to life scale synchronized swimmers both in and out of the water.

Enchanted Forest: Interactive Installation

Lakeside Arts 2023

During the summer of 2023, we created a fully immersive and interactive installation based on the theme of the Enchanted Forest. The commission was to create a unique experience that would attract all ages. Over 24 minutes, the forest shifted through 24 hours, with different creatures venturing into the clearing to interact with the audience.

The project was a huge success, attracting over 15,000 people to the gallery over the summer weeks.
