about us
Structurals is a Swiss new media studio engaged in the creation of immersive environments, light scenography, and interactive installations. Founded by two artists with backgrounds in digital arts and visual design, the studio explores the relationship between light, space, and sound, and how these elements can alter our perception of a space.
Their work combines projection mapping, generative video, real-time systems, and kinetic mechanisms driven by motors. Each project is developed in close dialogue with its context, considering the architecture and the specific qualities of the site. Whether working indoors or outdoors, Structurals is interested in how installations inhabit spaces and how they invite audiences to engage with them.
The studio values experimentation and often develops custom-built solutions, adapting both technical systems and visual languages to each situation. From the design of visual devices to the integration of interactive or kinetic elements, every project grows out of a process of exploration and adjustment.
In parallel, they co-founded and lead the artistic direction of Folnui, a scenography and event collective based in Geneva. Through Folnui, they continue to experiment with large-scale installations and collaborative projects involving multiple disciplines.
Over the years, Structurals has presented installations and performances in collaboration with cultural institutions and festivals, including Geneva Lux and the Mapping Festival, and continues to explore new ways of working with space, image, and light.
THE PROCESS
Each project begins with a close reading of its environment — its architecture, its context, its rhythm. Structurals approaches every installation or performance as a site-specific intervention, starting with research, sketches, and conceptual exploration.
This phase often involves creating visual studies, physical and digital models, and 3D previews to define both the aesthetic and the spatial dynamics of the project. From these early ideas, the project evolves through iterative design — blending visual direction with technical development. Structurals works across tools such as Archicad for architectural planning, Cinema 4D for spatial modeling and simulation, and the Adobe Suite for graphic composition and storyboarding.
For interactive and real-time elements, the studio develops a custom-built system within TouchDesigner. This environment enables live control over generative visuals, light compositions, and responsive interactions through MIDI, OSC, and sensor inputs. Constantly refined and adapted to each context, this system allows Structurals to create visual architectures that respond intuitively to sound, space, and movement.
