Our playful obstacles create thought-provoking public spaces
Aesthetic Obstacles has made exhibitions, games and interactive experiences for public spaces since 2019 and consists of Alexis Holmqvist, designer and Per Gantelius, software developer.
We know game design, spatial and textual storytelling, graphic design, exhibition design and development of hardware and software. Our specialty is combining these disciplines to create integrated gaming experiences.
Based on each unique room, we find site-specific solutions where well-chosen obstacles and challenges awaken the audience’s participation and exploration.
We care as much about frame rate and ligatures as burial rites and suffragettes. Technology is just a means to an end – our focus is always on the story.
