At the ART+COM Studios in Cologne and Berlin, we use new media to design and develop installations, objects and spaces in both analogue and digital format. We create environments that allow people to enjoy experiences that would otherwise be unimaginable in everyday life.

We use new technology as a means of artistic expression, as a medium for interactive communication and for sensory experiences. We augment the visitors’ capabilities and show them new ways to interact with the world. Enabling people to do this is what drives us.

ARTART+COM designs media sculptures, installations and interventions that give their respective locations an identity – going beyond their function and architecture. Our art projects come into being through commissions for public spaces and private initiatives, as well as through our own motivation.

COMMUNICATIONART+COM conceives and creates media installations and spaces that vividly correlate complex content in tangible experiences. We design analogue and digital exhibits, brand spaces, exhibitions and museums that captivate visitors and inspire them to interact.

RESEARCH We see our research and development work as a source of inspiration and a basis for experimentation when designing innovations. We also use it as a decision-making tool when we look for cutting-edge interfaces and new forms of interaction and communication. By taking this approach in previous projects, we have created generative applications and computational reflectives. It has also helped us find new solutions in augmentation and interactive surfaces.
