An ocean to dive deeper
An unexplored cosmos, largest of all imaginable worlds, elementary sensation and eternal place of longing. It is the origin and substance of all life - the sea. Let us give it the attention it deserves. With a project series that makes the sea tangible with all senses - immersive and intermedial.
Projects
OCEANS21 -
The project series
OCEANS21 a project series on the fascination and endangerment of the oceans - to hear and see, feel and experience, interact and understand.
OCEANS21, scientifically based and artistically staged, makes the manifold aspects and threats of the marine habitat emotionally and intellectually tangible and encourages action: let’s make our seas clean, healthy and resilient again. Because the responsibility for the future of the Oceans is ours now.
In May 2022, OCEANS21 celebrated the premiere of its first exhibition in Berlin: Seaphony - Life on Planet Ocean, an invitation to engage with the ocean and its inhabitants with all your senses, to experience its fascination as well as its dangers from different perspectives.
In the documentary, the makers and artists explain how the various installations in the exhibition came about, what makes them such a special experience and why it is so important to connect with this amazingly unknown world of the oceans.
Immerse yourself in the world of the Seaphony exhibition and learn more about the ideas and intentions of the immersive installations and their artists and producers.

Life on Planet Ocean
In three immersive installations, the SEAPHONY exhibition sent visitors on a unique sensory voyage of discovery by exploring the vastness of the ocean, its magical soundscape through spatial sound, light and imagination.

the Company
We, Diana Schniedermeier and Ina Krüger stand behind the project series OCEANS21, and have also named a company the same way. Our passion is the communication of socially relevant topics through contemporary media at the interface of art, science and technology. Curiosity and the courage to always break new ground have characterized our work for over 20 years.
In partnership with the Interactive Media Foundation, internationally renowned artists and scientists, we have realized large-scale and multiple award-winning projects in recent years, including Das Totale Tanz Theater and Inside Tumucumaque.
Our productions are shown worldwide in renowned cultural institutions such as the Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart, Akademie der Künste or Palais Populaire in Berlin, Centre Phi in Montreal, ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam or Ars Electronica in Linz.
Consulting
Shaping digital transformation in culture and media
Digital transformation poses challenges for all areas of social life. Professionally, we have been meeting this challenge in a wide range of industries since the introduction of the Internet. Digital transformation is therefore much more than just buzzwords for us; we know how comprehensive even seemingly small changes can be. We bring proven competence, openness, scientific rigor and a realistic view for creative opportunities and risks to any project. And a consultancy that never sees itself as a "collection of well-meant advice", but rather as a meaningful dovetailing of concept and implementation.
