In collaboration with artists, PHI Studio undertakes, accelerates and executes technology-based immersive experiences and multidisciplinary creative projects for presentation within, but most often beyond PHI’s walls.
PHI Studio has rapidly grown its reputation as a critical player within the burgeoning spaces of immersive and technology-driven art.
“New media has a powerful role to play in terms of providing spaces for new kinds of imaginations. Imaginations about the futures, the futures that we want to create, the kinds of relationships we want to establish with one another and the rest of the living world. And it can be really a great space for opening up conversations about the future.”
Brazilian artist and director Diego Galafassi collaborated with PHI Studio teams during a residency to co-create the mixed reality work Breathe, presented at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020. PHI has acted as his co-producer, providing facilities, technical and creative support, and other tools and resources.
Combining object theatre, robotics, intelligent mapping and social interaction, this multidisciplinary project enables a group of 6 to 20 people to share an incomparable experience around a table. By manipulating cubes, the participants bring the different pieces and elements to life.
Always ready to partake in a sneak peek of the future, willing to embark on a journey into another dimension, our audiences enjoy being transported to places where technology evokes visceral and emotional reactions. We offer them unique experiences of total immersion that combines theatre and cutting-edge technology, dream and reality. These special events are offered to a handful of visitors eager to be a part of the magic. The beauty of a fleeting and unforgettable moment.
“In reality, stillness doesn’t exist. It is only possible to capture it within oneself for a moment.”
