POLYMATHIC began with a cardboard dome. A method of curation that projected artworks across its interior, built for Bath’s Fringe Arts Festival.
What started as a personal project amongst friends unexpectedly revealed something much bigger. As audiences stepped inside, it became clear that creative technology wasn’t just a tool for academic research or commercial spectacle: it had the tangible power to reshape how people connect with culture, learn, play, and experience stories together.
Following that first installation, POLYMATHIC was founded, and a series of projects across Bath’s cultural landscape quickly followed: immersive film partnerships, projection-mapped playgrounds, live-coded visuals, and playful public installations. Each one proved the same point: there is a pressing demand for cultural experiences that are emotionally engaging, accessible, and immersive, and organisations need support to deliver them with confidence.
We believe technology should amplify human creativity and connection, not replace it. POLYMATHIC continuously questions the role technology plays in our lives, championing inclusive, human-centered innovation crafted by diverse voices.
Our purpose is to design immersive experiences that place audience engagement and storytelling at their heart. We utilise technology as a creative tool, empowering institutions, communities, and brands to build meaningful connections with their audiences, ensuring technology always enhances human interaction and creative expression.
We envision a future where technology serves storytelling and human experience first. We are working towards this vision by transforming cultural events and spaces into captivating, inclusive environments where technology becomes an invisible partner in creating unforgettable, authentic audience experiences.
We craft exceptional immersive experiences and installations, partnering closely with cultural institutions, brands, festivals, and communities. By designing accessible, innovative experiences that blend storytelling with technology, we empower audiences, elevate events, and creatively engage new communities.
Technology should always serve humanity, enhancing our lives and creativity without controlling or limiting our authentic selves.
We challenge assumptions, question trends, and reflect deeply on technology's societal impacts to ensure our creative innovations genuinely benefit all.
We champion diverse voices, actively co-creating with communities and individuals whose perspectives ignite innovation and ensure our experiences resonate universally.
We boldly explore new ideas and push boundaries, always guided by creativity, responsibility, and ambition to make meaningful impacts.
Immersive technology has the extraordinary power to deepen and enhance human interaction. We design experiences that spark genuine connections, encourage meaningful engagements, and create moments of shared joy and discovery. Our use of technology doesn't replace human interaction, it amplifies and enriches it.
Our work embodies empathy and sensitivity, reflecting honest and authentic storytelling that deeply resonates with diverse audiences.
We believe technology and creativity should contribute positively to society, holding communities as our most vital stakeholders.
We embrace genuine creativity, artistic integrity, and responsible innovation, rejecting superficial trends to ensure meaningful, lasting impact.
