MARDIGAIN / PLEASE DISTURB

EXPERIMENTAL TECHNOLOGY / ENTERTAINMENT / FINLAND

PUNKROCKOF TECH.

We build the machinery, host the strange acts, feed the monsters and put unfinished futures in front of people before they become boring.

PRESENTS.

NOT A PRODUCT CATALOGUE / A SCENE

001 / THE SCENE

HOSTED. FED. SPONSORED. DISTURBED.

Mardigain behaves more like a promoter and technology patron than a software consultancy. The acts keep their identity. We provide machinery, stage, signal and occasionally bad influence.

NOW PLAYING / VIREBORNELIVE EXPERIMENT 001

MONSTER GIRL PITMASTER

Feed them. Train them. Fight them. Persistent artificial characters meet game systems, memory and monster-girl spectacle. Mardigain keeps the lights on.

RESIDENT ACT / VIREBORNEMUSIC / VIDEO / ARTIFICIAL PERFORMERS

FELIA + THE SYNTHETIC BAND

Darkwave, generated cinema, synthetic performers and characters that do not stop existing when the music video ends. Mardigain provides the machinery and stage.

ONLYCANS

Artificial performers, realtime interaction and questionable decisions. Proudly powered by experimental technology and a complete lack of beige branding.

CREATION WITHOUT PERMISSION CULTURE.

We are not interested in pretending every experiment already has a category, a committee-approved roadmap and a predictable ending.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE ACTUALLY TRY IT?

Build it. Break it. Put it in front of people. Learn fast. Keep the parts that become real. Technology is not sacred. Use the machine.

DON'T FEAR THE MACHINE.DON'T WORSHIP THE MACHINE.USE THE MACHINE.

YEARS OF
INTERFERENCE.

THIS DID NOT START WITH AN AI LANDING PAGE

002 / PREVIOUS DAMAGE

WE DIDN'T START YESTERDAY.

The client names are not the story. The pattern is years spent turning strange combinations of games, XR, simulation, AI, realtime media and interactive worlds into things people could actually touch.

Ideas belong outside slides.

Build. Show. Learn.

Experience compounds.

INT/01

Artificial people

Persistent characters with identity, memory, relationships and a life outside one prompt.

INT/02

Interactive worlds

Games and worlds used as laboratories for behaviour, story, autonomy and strange new forms of presence.

INT/03

XR in unlikely places

Industrial work, training, cities, art and simulation turned into spaces you can step inside.

INT/04

Synthetic production

AI, realtime engines, generated video, voice, music and procedural systems pushed into one production machine.

INT/05

Research in the wild

Years of experiments across games, education, research and emerging technology, then putting unfinished questions in front of real people.

INT/06

Things without a category

The useful part often arrives before the market has a neat name for it. That is usually where we start.

003 / THE MACHINERY

NOT A CONSULTANCY / THIS IS THE ENGINE ROOM

WE BUILD THE TECHNOLOGY UNDER THE SPECTACLE.

01

License the machinery

Experimental AI and interactive systems without an endless consulting engagement.

02

Bring the strange thing

Creators, studios and productions bring work that is too early, cross-disciplinary or difficult to place on a normal roadmap.

03

Put it in public

Working systems, audiences and fast feedback beat six months of beautiful theory.

04

Make some noise

Mardigain can host, present, sponsor and amplify selected experimental acts without sanding off what made them interesting.

004 / HOST / VAN MARDIGAIN

I RUN THIS.

Antti Martikainen. Entrepreneur, technology builder, speaker and research collaborator working across AI systems, games, XR and experimental interactive media.

Mardigain is where that experience becomes machinery, cinema, experiments and a stage for people willing to disturb the format.

PLEASE
DISTURB.

Have something strange? Good.
