We start with great concepts and then take them to new imaginative and communicative potentials. From online digital campaigns to highly targeted cultural activations, we deliver and amaze by pushing the limits of experience through innovative storytelling and captivating visuals. We also collaborate with directors, designers, and artists of any ilk to expand their creative practice, deploying the latest technologies to craft singular activations that stand out from the pack.

When not creating original content or projects for a wide range of clients, we also collaborate with institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art, MIT Media Lab, New Museum, Onassis Foundation, Pulitzer Center, and United Nations. Sensorium also works extensively within the performing arts, especially by creating original theatrical and musical experiences with The Public Theater, The New York Theatre Workshop, and Julliard. Our work has also premiered as Official Selections at Sundance New Frontier, Tribeca Storyscapes, IDFA DocLab, and The Portal at the LA Film Festival.

These are some other longterm projects:

Cyborg Futures is an immersive performance and exhibition platform produced in collaboration with the Cyborg Foundation. Understanding the inner workings of the mind and how to interface them with computers is quickly becoming a reality. Such use of cybernetics and sensory augmentation is opening a massive new spectrum of possibilities for artistic practices that confound both a sense of self and the outside world. Cyborg Futures introduces the possibilities of expanded bodily and mental dispositions that allow for new forms of communication, exploration, and expression through the creative applications of cybernetics.

“Kapital Creation: Chasing the Chinese Dream” is the first feature documentary by Sensorium. Set within the largest infrastructure buildout in the history of mankind, it examines the urban explosion of Beijing through the eyes of creative communities. The capital of China is setting a dire precedent for the rest of the country as development continues to come at the expense of cultural heritage, natural resources, and quality of life. The project engages artists, musicians, architects, and writers who see the need for a different future, and why this is absolutely critical not only for China, but also the rest of the world.

The Megacity Initiative delves into how this century belongs to the city. An additional 2.7 billion people are anticipated to live in metropolitan regions around the world by 2050 and the ecological fate of the planet is bound to their lives. The Megacity Initiative is a new media venture that seeks to illuminate this process of urbanization through films, exhibitions, journalism, and a mobile platform allowing people to respond to and potentially participate in city planning. Urgent challenges are facing developing metropolitan regions around the world, and they need new ways to champion sustainable development, social equity, and more accountable municipal governance. Research is conducted with the support of the MIT Center for Advanced Urbanism, Columbia University’s Studio-X, and the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting.
