DANIEL CALVO

3D Media Designer, Director Mosster Studio

We are artists, designers and creative technologists and we are here to challenge how technology and art are used to inspire understanding through a sense of awe, wonder, curiosity and joy. We create art experiences where digital technology is our matter and tool to provide a base where people have room to build using their own imagination and where they can explore their own creativity.

We love experimentation and continuously invent new approaches for the exploration of art and technology trough workshops, immersive interactive installations and space interventions. Our creations encourage viewers to question the ways of the world and through our work we aim to inspire happiness and joy to cultivate further creativity that fires up a sense of wonder.
