Questions

Before you ask.

What budget should we plan for?

Licensed systems start around €25k. Festival works typically range from €80k–250k, and permanent installations are scoped individually after the listening phase.

Do you work with public data only?

No. We often work with private or institutional data — always anonymised, and never storing personal information.

Can a work travel to more than one venue?

Yes. Touring works are designed modularly and re-tuned for each room and its local data.

Who maintains the work after launch?

We monitor every live system remotely and include a maintenance plan with each permanent commission.
