Prototypen is a collective of professional artists and entrepreneurs who are operating in the fields of optophonic communication and sustainable living. We provide service in traditional areas including advertisement, music production, acting, architectural visualization, photography and visual fx as well as more exotic endeavors like live music event video mixing. We carry out our own media and communication productions encompassing podcasts, internet tv, live cinema and art centric events as well as the production of sustainable, eco friendly range of mostly hand made products. To advance our creativity and find a sustainable way to live and do business we are actively researching ways to improve communication between people, advance the fusion of sound and vision and find ways to practice a sustainable lifestyle. Our work practices are ethical and in synch with the environment. We embrace open source, open standards and a society build on sharing knowledge and resources. Most of our research findings are made available to the public and the art from our own productions is licensed so that everyone person can legally enjoy it.
