ABOUT

We are an immersive storytelling studio that creates emotionally powerful mind-bending alternate worlds in physical or virtual space. We juxtapose elements of art, film, theater, and architecture to produce groundbreaking work that upends your sensory experience in service of story. Our goal is not just to entertain or excite but to engage in ways that create memories of lasting meaning.

Led by acclaimed artist Kenzo Digital, we are a roster of cross-disciplinary designers, producers, architects, artists, developers, animators, writers, and technologists who make work with a singular vision that stands the test of time.

Kenzo Digital is an artist whose work is dedicated to synthesizing new narrative forms with groundbreaking technology to create impactful, emotional stories. He is the founder of Kenzo Digital Immersive, an immersive storytelling studio based in New York.

Kenzo’s latest project, a ticketed immersive art experience called Air, is a permanent installation at the top of Summit One Vanderbilt, a new supertall skyscraper in the center of Manhattan. Air opened in October 2021 and hosted 1.6 million visitors in its first year.
