APED Studio

Overview

We have cultivated a unique way of presenting our work. We heed to classical art values, such as harmony, balance, and a sense of proportion. In our work, we try to apply these values with the use of different older mediums such as Painting, Music, Sculpture while incorporate them with New contemporary mediums such as Virtual-Reality, Augmented-Reality, and installation to better tell our stories, We treat our subjects in a non-anecdotal and emotionally neutral manner. We try to eschew ourselves from trends and rigorous beliefs and be subordinated to the story and the aesthetics.

Process

Development followed a creative-technical hybrid approach, starting with conceptual artistic design and moving through technical implementation. For interactive installations, the process involved creating innovative storytelling experiences by combining traditional art elements with contemporary technologies. The escape room projects required a systematic approach to puzzle design, incorporating automated elements and interactive installations that enhanced user engagement while maintaining technical reliability.

Challenges

The project involved creating innovative storytelling experiences through the integration of classical art with modern technologies including VR, AR, and interactive installations. The scope encompassed developing installations for international digital art festivals and designing interactive elements for escape rooms. The work required blending artistic vision with technical implementation using platforms like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Kinect. A significant challenge was bridging the gap between artistic vision and technical feasibility, particularly when working with complex technologies like VR, AR, and robotics. Creating reliable and maintainable interactive installations for continuous use in escape rooms required careful consideration of durability and user safety. Additionally, coordinating installations for international festivals presented logistical and technical challenges in ensuring reliable operation in different environments and contexts.

Result

The work led to successful installations showcased at major international events, including Iran's TADAEX Festival (2018) and Poland's Survival 17 (2019). For escape room clients, the project delivered engaging and reliable interactive installations and automated puzzles that enhanced user experience. The combination of classical art elements with modern technology created unique storytelling experiences that successfully engaged audiences and demonstrated the potential of combining traditional art forms with contemporary technical innovation.
