The studio

At Miiqo Studios, we specialize in spatial narrative and immersive design to bring the complex topics of our time closer to our audiences. Our mission is to craft innovative digital and physical spaces that foster meaningful engagement with socially relevant issues.

We believe the stories we tell shape our perception of the world and our ability to create better futures. To tell stories differently, we embrace uncertainty and contingency, allowing for subtle shifts in how we perceive the world around us.

We connect deeply with the topics we explore, working across disciplines and integrating diverse viewpoints to translate complex issues into sensitive narrative experiences across platforms.

By continuously pushing the boundaries of narrative and experiential digital spaces, we aim to redefine how people learn about and connect with socially relevant topics. We create opportunities for new ways of understanding the world around us, supporting innovative approaches to tackle the massive challenges we all face.

THE HERDS – Generative nature soundscape
THE HERDS | Sounds of the Unseen
Generative nature soundscape
Sounds of the Unseen is a generative soundscape created in collaboration with KLING KLANG KLONG. It forms our artistic contribution to THE HERDS, an international public art project addressing the global climate and biodiversity crisis. As life-sized animal puppets journey across continents—symbolizing species in flight—the soundscape evolves in real time. Powered by billions of migration data points, weather patterns, and voices of endangered and extinct species, it becomes a living archive: an emotional and sonic bridge to the more-than-human world and the fragile ecosystems we share.
