Founded in 2014, the studio has worked since its origins to explore the fragile balance between narration and interactivity, tackling very different genres: artistic installations, experiments, 360° fiction, until more recently video games, with equal critical and public recognition. We develop projects with a strong narrative dimension, going beyond the simple notion of “entertainment” often linked to VR experiences, without however forgetting the sensitive and playful aspects to be offered to the public. We also seek to question users about the meaning given to the exploration of a work through interaction. Finally, with each new experience, our ambition is to push the limits of a constantly evolving technology.
