Lit Fuse Studios surfaces community voices into immersive spaces — the same story playing on a fifth-grader's phone, a youth-center wall, a community-built dome, a museum's CAVE. We hold what people bring. We don't broadcast at them.
We don't rent rooms. We hold voices. We build curriculums, workshops, and the open tools that let a youth center, a classroom, or a planetarium carry a story it didn't get to carry before. The piece in a museum tomorrow can hold a question asked from a kitchen tonight.
Voice testimony, lived-experience documentary, neighborhood capture — held inside a 360° space anyone can step into. Free voices from a Berlin table in 2006. A juke joint in Clarksdale. A mercado in Puebla. A youth center in Orlando. Held with consent and citation, not extracted.
One piece plays in a fifth-grader's browser, on the wall of a community center, inside a pop-up dome a teacher unfurls in a gym, in a museum's CAVE, on a planetarium ceiling. Same signal — different room. Built to be accessible first.
The work isn't finished when we make it. Our tools let people add their voice into the piece — a question they carry, a portrait, a testimony. The artwork stays alive. The room becomes a dialog, not a screening.
Education & Civic — curriculums, workshops, and civic engagement loops that put the artwork in classrooms K through college. Immersive — community installations that blend audio and visual, sized for the room they're in. Surface Forge — the open library underneath, for the makers and tinkerers.
One story moves through the pipeline. Capture · forge · ship · land. Same signal, different surface, the whole way down.
A growing library of community-authored 360° pieces. Hover any one to hear what it sounds like — the place, the people, the sound of the room. Each piece consents-on, citations-in, free for educators and community use.
The spatial web is being built right now — mostly without us.
Apple, Meta, and Google scan every street and every room to build their version of spatial reality. Communities are the backdrop. Their neighborhoods become someone else's infrastructure.
Lit Fuse Studios is a counter-claim. A 360° capture made by or with a community is not a scan — it's a document. It carries the evidentiary weight of a photograph. It says: this was real, these people stood here, this is what it looked like from the inside.
Where neighborhoods get redeveloped, displaced, or erased — these spaces remain. Open. Forkable. Carried live.
2026 is the 20th year since the original Table of Free Voices in Berlin. We're holding a new circle — and the work isn't ours to finish. As people walk through the piece (in a planetarium, a science museum, a youth center, on a phone), they get to add their own question, voice, or testimony into the artwork. We hold it. We carry it forward.
