History

 

Roto Studio was formed as an outgrowth of a busy design and engineering department within one of the world's largest science-technology museums (COSI).  Having created hundreds of interactive exhibits for two new science center buildings in the 1990's, the Roto team turned its attention to the development of original interactive installations, both through independent commissions and through design-build contracts for new museum and commercial exhibit work (see www.rotostudio.com). 

 

Today, Roto Studio remains busy as a developer of unique interactive learning and entertainment experiences, while continually seeking new opportunities to develop one-of-a-kind, expressive art installations.
