Designing From the Middle of the Atlantic: Lemke Meijer, Gagarin Interactive
What does it mean to design experiences from a place where your nearest neighbours are arctic seabirds and lava fields? For Gagarín Interactive, based in Iceland, physical isolation has become a creative advantage. In this talk, Lemke Meijer shares how designing on the edge shapes their approach to content, interaction and storytelling.
With three decades in digital media—and a specialisation in interactive exhibitions—the studio creates award-winning work known for its tangibility, clarity and emotional depth.
