What
We reinterpret and re-present cultural heritage—historical, artistic, architectural, archaeological, and intangible—through audio and video storytelling, multimedia, and interactivity. Our work explores themes such as memory, territory, community, and identity. We create immersive, evocative experiences that invite new ways of seeing and understanding. By manipulating media and playing with reality and perception, we build layered visual and sound narratives that open up space for interpretation.
How
Over the years, Tokonoma has developed a unique expertise in
crafting video works, installations, interactive environments,
multimedia exhibitions, museums, and theater projects.
We combine interactivity, multi-vision, fragmented storytelling, and
spatial design to shape engaging experiences. Technology and media
are tools we use to create engaging experiences to foster public
participation and spark critical thinking.
