About Us
Vibrisse Studio is a creative and cultural hub, an interdisciplinary crossroads, a true Aufhebung.
We work at the intersection of music, arts and software development, building meaningful experiences that integrate analog and digital, tradition and innovation.
Each project is born from the meeting of different languages, which we bring into dialogue within the same creative space: augmented and virtual reality, generative AI, videogames, robotics, 3D printing, the Internet of Things, music production, visual arts, writing and cultural research all coexist in a single process of creation and innovation.
For beauty.
For research.
For education.
For cultural, human and technological sustainability.
