Since 2001 iart has been realising projects at the cutting edge between media, art and technology, its main focus having been on lighting, projection and interaction for museums, exhibitions, architectural projects, public spaces and media-based artworks. The iart team, currently consisting of around 25 people, is made up of engineers, architects, scenographers, interaction and industrial designers, as well as cultural, art and media specialists. Its wide range of competencies as well as its many years of project experience – at the technical, substantive and process-related level – enables iart to respond flexibly to the needs of individual projects and to offer services that go beyond technology and media, e.g. services relating to content, design and coordination.

In addition, iart maintains lively contacts with experts from various disciplines who form part of its direct network. This provides an additional stimulus for creativity so that for every new project iart can operate competently within a state-of-the-art framework.

As an interdisciplinary competence centre, against the background of an engineering office, we assure your project’s success as regards technical scope and creativity. Based on the preconditions of the project – the rooms, the presentation, the exhibits – we develop new concepts and innovative technical solutions that provide an attractive and intuitive access to content.

Media concept and planning

iart interactive develops individual solutions for communication of content in a multimedia context.

Our core competence lies in the conception and planning of media solutions. The two areas are closely interlinked and lead to the best result when they are combined and executed in constant interaction. Therefore, we always strive for an early involvement in projects and the acquisition of both the concept and the planning. To get the best partners involved for a project we realise and conduct call for tenders and pitches.

Concept

Challenge us with the latest problems! Solving them is our job.

Within the framework of its conception services, iart develops individual solutions that give your visions tangible form. We not only understand your content but provide you with the necessary technical knowhow. Our goal is to make the public enthusiastic about what you want to say.

Planning

iart understands you and technology.

iart takes responsibility for technical planning, both preliminary and detailed, and guarantees that the media infrastructure and the infrastructure requirements are of a high quality. We define the planning assumptions, prepare and monitor calls for tender and develop operating concepts.

Content

iart combines technical knowhow with competence regarding content.

True to the principle ‘Form follows Content’, iart can assume responsibility for various aspects of your project’s preparation and for the definition of its content: from the research stage right up to the writing of texts on specific themes or exhibits; the production of audio and video content, research into exhibits and their procurement as well as writing and editing for short guides and catalogues.

Realisation

Besides conception and planning iart is well known for developing an innovation for almost every budget..

The ideal situation for us is the overall coverage of a project, from the idea through to completion. It gives us the opportunity to use synergies and act flexibly. We have access to a vast creative network and can always guarantee high quality also in terms of design.

Proof of Concept

If the solution you imagine is not available, we shall find it.

iart looks for new solutions and develops a way to implement them. In the process of ‘proof of concept’, we continuously monitor the conception and planning of your idea by means of a functional model. At the same time, the model offers ideas for technical solutions that can form the basis for efficient realisation. The goal of the ‘proof of concept’ is a mature idea that has already been thoroughly tested by the time it is implemented.

Consulting

If you expect more than just technical knowhow: Come to iart.

We would be happy to pass on our many years of experience to you by advising you on the formulation of your idea. This enables you to plan long term and ensures that you invest in the right technologies and ideas. We bring our expertise in the form of cost estimates, feasibility studies, innovation and benchmarking studies to help in the development of requirements for exhibitions and conduct independent audits of bids. We gladly take over the consulting work in the realisation of media projects.

Operations

iart develops operational concepts and requirement profiles for your employees.

We advise the operating personnel, take over the enrolment and the creation of functional specifications for the operation.

Research and Development

In order to offer innovative solutions, we spend a great deal of our time on research and development.

In the course of the past couple of years we have been researching on Augmented Reality, Ambisonic Sound Systems, Mobile Information Systems and Ubiquitous Computing in collaboration with colleges and universities.

Teaching and Education

iart organises workshops and lectures for curators, artists, scenographers and students.

We use our creative environment as well as the contact with colleges and universities for the development of case studies dealing with new media.
