WHAT DRIVES US

The world
craves connection

We are bombarded with fleeting images and shallow interactions. While many platforms lure us toward a disconnected and escapist dystopia, we believe in the potenial of leveraging technology for ENCOUNTERS – those moments of genuine connection that spark understanding and inspire empathy. We believe in the power of stories to move, inspire, and connect us on a deeper level.

HOW WE WORK

in the atelier
tradition

Our workshop is a collaborative where creativity flourishes through experimentation and shared learning. We nurture ideas, explore new techniques, and push the boundaries of our craft, creating experiences for an era when the physical world is a playground, a canvas, a stage.

OUR TOOLKIT

Program or be Programmed

We believe the best tool is the one that captures imagination and fosters human connection. Our toolkit spans the ages, from the ancient power of spoken word to cutting-edge AI and immersive spatial media. We're constantly exploring and mastering the latest technologies, but we pride ourselves on knowing when a classic approach hits the mark. Whether it's a whispered story around a campfire or a shared journey through a virtual world, we're dedicated to creating meaningful encounters with the perfect blend of old and new.

SHARED FUTURES

We thrive on collaboration

At the W0RK.SHOP, we're storytellers, technologists, global citizens and high-functioning chaos muppets. If you believe in the power of collaboration and want to contribute to a more nuanced and engaged world — whether by partnering with us or joining our team — let's encounter one another.
