PROX STUDIO
We create participatory mixed-reality performances and installations where people step inside the work and help shape it. Using VR, spatial sound, motion tracking, and game-engine systems, we heighten the senses and dissolve the line between audience and performer. The goal is not gadgetry – it’s to open new ways of sensing, reflecting, and being.
We design situations where audiences become part of the narrative world rather than observers. Through site-specific staging and VR/AR integration, participants enter multidimensional environments that invite active contribution and agency.
The studio partners with institutions and individuals to create transformative experiences. Our team is multidisciplinary – artists, creatives, and futurists who pursue what has never been done before. We share our methods through labs and teaching, from Future Games in Stockholm to the Danish National School of Performing Arts.
Since 2005, Jakob la Cour has led the studio in transforming imagination into matter. Hundreds of thousands have engaged with our works – from intimate VR rituals to large-scale performances such as Hybrid Sensation (Royal Danish Theatre, 2023). Earlier projects include Artificial Awakening (IDFA DocLab, 2021) and Luna Seconda (Reumert Award, 2021). Notable moments include a VR showcase attended by Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary.
