Immersive Experiences

Immersive Experiences / Gallery Installations

We specialise in creating fully immersive environments where audiences are surrounded by projection — stepping into spaces that respond, evolve, and transform around them.

These installations typically use a minimum of three projectors, though the setup can scale significantly depending on the space and creative vision. Whether small and intimate or expansive and architectural, each project is designed to fit the specific environment.

Our content can also be made interactive, allowing visitors to influence the visuals in real time — making each experience personal, dynamic, and one-of-a-kind.

We’ve delivered immersive experiences in a wide range of settings, including:

Galleries and museums
Shopping centres and public spaces
Bars, clubs, and music venues
Warehouses and industrial environments
Bespoke, curved-walled installations
Climbing centres and sport spaces

From concept and content creation to technical design and system programming, we oversee every aspect of the production — crafting experiences that are as technically robust as they are visually captivating.

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.
