SUPACTIVATIONS
Tech partner for agencies and artists · Berlin

We build what runs behind the wall.

Agencies and artists design the experience. We build the electronics and software for interactive installations in retail spaces and exhibitions, and keep them running from opening night to the last day.

How a room thinks

A motion sensor only knows someone is there. Our rooms also notice how long people stay, how many came in and what happened a minute ago. Follow one visitor through three rooms.

Room 1 Stay, then press
Waiting
  1. Visitor in front of the piece
  2. Stayed 3 s, button arms 0.0 s
  3. Button pressed while armed
  4. Hold time sets the height 0%
Room 2 Scent for those who stay
Waiting
  1. 1–2 people in the zone 0 now
  2. They stayed 4 s 0.0 s
  3. Last spray over 60 s ago clear
  4. Spray for 2 s
Room 3 Light that walks with you
Waiting
  1. People tracked 0 now
  2. Light follows each person
  3. Colour by crowd: 1 amber, 2 rose, 3+ ice —
  4. Empty for 5 s, dim to idle

Your tech partner

From the first sketch to the last day of the show. You bring the concept and the venue. We work out how it runs, build it and stay with you through the run.

Agencies & production studios

You have the client and the concept. We make the tech inside it work by the opening date.

We take on
Feasibility, electronics, apps, install, support during the run.

Artists & designers

You know how the piece should feel. We make it move, glow or respond, and last for weeks in public.

We take on
Prototypes, light and motion control, custom circuits.

Selected work

As a tech partner we mostly build for agencies and artists, so we don't show client names or finished spaces. The drawings show the systems we built. References on request.

Under every installation

Phygital OS®

We started as a software company. Every installation we build runs on our own platform.

Phygital OS connects sensors, buttons, lights, motors and screens and decides what happens when. It logs every event, so we can fix a room remotely and you get real visitor numbers at the end.

  • RunsScenes, rules, schedules

From bench to floor

If something is going to fail, we want it to fail on our table, not on opening night.

  1. 1

    Brief

    Concept, venue, dates. We tell you what's possible, the cost and the risks.

  2. 2

    Bench prototype

    We build the hardest part first and get it working on the desk.

  3. 3

    Build

    Boards, enclosures, wiring and software, tested together at full size.

  4. 4

    Install

    On site with your production team, every scene tuned in the real room.

  5. 5

    Run & report

    We watch the run, fix things fast and hand over the numbers.
