About Cocolab
Cocolab is an independent multimedia creation and experiential design studio based in Mexico City. Founded in 2008, it combines art, technology and entertainment to create original shows, immersive exhibitions, interactive installations and environments for cultural institutions, heritage sites, live entertainment and commercial projects.
Its work brings together narrative development, spatial design, animation, lighting, sound and engineering. Projects range from immersive walkthroughs and museum scenography to architectural projection mapping, stage spectacles and interactive public installations. The studio develops both digital content and physical environments, with services extending from experience strategy and creative direction through technical production, installation, commissioning and maintenance.
Cultural spaces and immersive storytelling
Cocolab has developed nighttime experiences for archaeological sites in Mexico, including Ecos de Uxmal and Edzná: Espejo de los dioses. These projects use monumental architecture as part of a multimedia storytelling environment. Its exhibition work includes interactive installations for Banco de México and multimedia museography for the Mexico Pavilion at Expo Milan 2015.
Art-focused experiences include FRIDA Inmersiva, which combines projection, spatial audio and sensory installation around Frida Kahlo’s life and work. In 2026, the studio developed Leonora Carrington: Laberinto Mágico with the Leonora Carrington Council and produced Álbum Épico, an interactive exhibition exploring World Cup history at Museo Yancuic. Both formed part of Mexico City’s World Cup cultural programming.
Entertainment and interactive environments
The studio’s entertainment work includes Latin American production and technical staging for Disney Animation: Immersive Experience in Mexico City, alongside Projected Desert for Meow Wolf. Its 2026 projects also include Mar de Cortés, a 360-degree marine ecosystem experience for Discovery Center in Los Cabos, and La Sala del Terror, an immersive horror walkthrough developed with Warner Bros. and Rola Entertainment.
Beyond exhibitions, Cocolab creates touring light installations, festival environments and interactive fan experiences. Its portfolio connects cultural storytelling with engineered audiovisual systems across temporary events, permanent installations and location-based entertainment.
