About DOTDOT
DOTDOT is an independent creative technology and experiential design studio working across physical and virtual environments. Based in Auckland and Brooklyn, the studio creates interactive installations, immersive experiences and digital platforms for cultural institutions, museums and commercial brands. Its multidisciplinary practice brings together creative technologists, software engineers, game designers, digital artists and producers.
The studio combines spatial design, storytelling and custom technology across projects ranging from museum-scale virtual reality to augmented reality activations and interactive public installations. Its capabilities include projection mapping, movement sensing, artificial intelligence, spatial media and virtual environments. Clients named in its research include Google, Samsung, Coca-Cola, Adobe, Giorgio Armani, Mastercard and TikTok.
From experimentation to deployment
DOTDOT provides creative direction and content development alongside technical research and production. Experience design, storyboarding and scriptwriting sit alongside rapid hardware and software prototyping, proof-of-concept testing, custom sensor integration and computer vision. This combination supports projects that require both a narrative concept and a purpose-built interactive system.
Its production work spans permanent architectural exhibitions designed for operational lifespans of more than ten years, temporary commercial pop-ups and web-based virtual event platforms running around the clock. The studio also develops digital twins, geolocated storytelling experiences and serious games, adapting its approach to cultural, educational and commercial settings.
Selected work
At the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Climate Converter uses projection mapping and real-time movement sensing to engage visitors with environmental stewardship. MuMu VR explores room-scale virtual reality science education, while Girls Who Code Cyber HQ takes the form of a gamified virtual educational environment.
Other projects include the Mastercard AI Music Studio, the augmented reality game Kiri and Lou: Hide and Seek, and commercial AR/XR activations for Giorgio Armani and TikTok. Its web-based platforms POPUP and Spotlight Gallery extend the practice into immersive events and exhibitions for cultural organisations and performing arts festivals.
