Environmental and digital experiences for arts, culture, and beyond

Once upon a time

There was a digital agency that dreamed of creating amazing experiences

Interactive Mechanics was started in 2012 with the aspiration to build incredible digital experiences to inspire, empower, and educate. And for years, we did that and more: we created experiences for institutions big and small, won awards for that work, gave dozens talks and presented to our industry, organized events and ran an incredible fellowship program, and were recognized for our focus on equity and inclusion.

Sometimes, things change

But in 2019, Interactive Mechanics made a change: we scaled back our team, closed our physical office, and changed our operating model to a more flexible, project-based approach. Same passion, same commitment to building amazing experiences, just a different way of doing it.

Today, we're a distributed, remote-first team that brings the right team to every project. Our network of collaborators spans design, video production, engineering, exhibit design, fabrication, strategy, and more.
