Hypercritic | Innovative Storytelling Formats to Amplify Culture, Creativity, and Impact

A Boost of Creativity for Companies, Museums, and Public Institutions

Hypercritic is a digital and live media platform that transforms how we experience culture. We work with museums, public institutions, and companies to create immersive, cross-disciplinary journeys through the arts – from exhibitions and live events to editorial projects and multimedia formats.

Each project is designed to connect heritage and innovation, high culture and pop culture, reaching diverse audiences through a fresh, inclusive, and emotionally resonant approach.
