We experiment with formats.
And engage in storytelling.
So people get involved.

The Interactive Media Foundation is a non-profit organisation based in Berlin and Ludwigsburg. Since 2013, we have been developing innovative narrative formats at the intersection of art, education, technology, media, and social transformation.

Vision & Mission

We are committed to an open, just, and diverse society. This commitment is rooted in our belief in participation, freedom, and equal opportunity – and in the power of media to make these values visible and tangible. With innovative projects, we seek to inform, inspire, and activate. To this end, we create formats that build connections – between disciplines, between people, between the present and the future.

Our themes

We address the major societal challenges of our time.

We use artistic means to stage scientifically grounded data and facts, and we create interdisciplinary connections that make education a tangible experience.

Our themes reflect what we stand for, the principles that guide us, and how these manifest in our projects. They offer insight into what drives us and lead to the fields in which our work takes shape.

Our projects

We combine thematic depth with creative forms of storytelling.

To this end, we develop a wide range of media formats such as virtual reality experiences, documentary works and participatory workshops that make social developments easier to understand and open up new forms of dialogue.

Our focus is not only on conveying facts, but on fostering active participation, enabling shifts in perspective through immersion, and creating experience-driven impulses that leave a lasting impact.

Our network

Great ideas do not emerge in isolation.

Our work thrives on exchange with partners from education, culture, science, technology, and civil society. Diverse perspectives enrich our projects and make social impact possible in the first place.

We develop our formats collaboratively – from the initial idea to implementation. Trust, shared values, and curiosity for innovation shape our approach. In this way, we create spaces where creativity, learning, and civic engagement come together.
