Hypersonic [Art & Design]

Hypersonic [Art & Design] is a multidisciplinary studio based in Brooklyn, New York, founded in 2012. We specialize in creating dynamic public artworks and exhibition designs that bring together art, science, and technology in inventive and captivating ways. Our work spans kinematic sculptures, animatronics, and interactive installations, handcrafted to provoke curiosity and inspire wonder. At the heart of Hypersonic's practice is a deep and unwavering fascination with uncovering and interpreting the rhythmic patterns found in nature. Our work draws on the compelling logic of natural phenomena—like the synchronized flashing of fireflies or the murmuration of starlings—to design experiences that resonate deeply and give the mind a moment of calm. In addition to creating our own original artworks, Hypersonic has also collaborated with renowned artists such as Jenny Holzer and Kara Walker, with experience design studios such as SOSO Limited and Local Projects, and with institutions including SFMOMA, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and Shire HQ in Cambridge. Whether animating a city plaza or activating a museum atrium, we seek to foster moments of connection between people and the places they inhabit. Our process is site-specific and data-driven, often beginning with in-depth research and personal conversations to unpick the multiple layers of a space and its people. Projects like the Constellation Garden Memorial at UNC Charlotte and Breaking Wave for Biogen exemplify our commitment to creating meaningful, lasting works that contribute to their environments. Driven by a collaborative ethos, our team—including artists, engineers, architects, and designers—shares a passion for innovation, experimentation, and craftsmanship. Every project is a search for beauty and meaning, a fusion of technical precision and aesthetic expression. Our art is an invitation to pause, reflect, and experience something beyond the everyday.
