We are a small company with big plans. We built our first website in 1996. It was about a lost airport in a parallel universe, and told stories about a man who wore a dress and carried his emotional baggage around in a giant sack. You could go through different gates and see video from other dimensions. 1997 we built a sound site for the local experimental sound scene called L’Audible, it had free downloads and eventually relied on the kindness of the city of Berlin who funded a community server project.
Since then we’ve continued to build websites, playful interfaces, Very Useful archives, web driven control interfaces and even art installations in the quest to communicate with humans and give them something to think about in a clever way. We even made an appliance: a machine to pretend you’re in outer space.
We often use and contribute to open source products. In the last few years the WordPress community has turned WordPress into the most incredibly flexible tool that allows anyone with content to plug in to so many beautiful graphical and mechanical interfaces.
House of Laudanum – clever and sensible digital work – we turn your wildest digital dreams into a reality.
