As well as creating new software, we provide consultancy, workshops, training and public engagement in digital technologies and digital media, including mobile, embedded, immersive and especially collective experiences. Check out our testimonials.

Our knowledge and experience includes technologies for smart and playful cities, the internet of things, interactive spaces, and group collaboration. Our technology expertise includes mobile, the web and cloud. Our wide range of clients includes local government, large and small corporations, arts establishments and artists, IP legal firms and the British Council. Based at the Pervasive Media Studio, we deal on an everyday basis with people from the arts and creative industries.

We pride ourselves on being able to communicate about technologies in a way that is suited to the knowledge, language and context of our clients.

We bring a healthy scepticism in our approach. For example, we offer consultancy on Blockchain and related technologies such as Web3 and NFTs. Can you afford to ignore them? We’ll give you an expert answer, free of hype.

Analysis and troubleshooting

We carry out in-depth research into technologies and their applications, business impact and market potential. For example, we conducted research into QR (2D barcode) technologies for a company in the upper echelons of the Fortune 500, providing a technology landscape and a competitive analysis of capabilities and paths forward, not only for barcodes but also alternatives such as Near Field Communication (NFC).

Workshops and training

We are experienced workshop leaders and provide training for both technologists and creative and social organisations wishing to understand which digital technologies can help them and how.

User Experience

We study the human use and experience of technology with state-of-the-art methods, from informal studies through to trials, hypothesis-testing or ethnographic investigations.

Testimonials

“Tim Kindberg’s presentation on Blockchain went down extremely well and was certainly a highlight of IOP Publishing’s PubCon18 conference. After speaking to colleagues working across our specialist publishing programmes – journals, ebooks, science journalism and conference proceedings – it is clear that Tim helped a lot of people get a solid understanding of what blockchain is, as well as its limitations.”

Joe McEntee, Associate Director, Publishing, IOP

“Tim Kindberg’s workshop on Innovation was insightful, fun and thought-provoking, with practical exercises and great discussions. As the creative and technical lead of a digital technology company, he definitely knows what he is talking about. The attendees left with new techniques for maximising their innovation potential, and fresh perspectives on the value of multidisciplinary working when it comes to achieving their R&D ambitions.”

Tashi Gyaltsen, Lead, EPSRC-funded UK Digital Economy Crucible, a nationwide leadership development programme for emerging researchers across all UK universities.

“Tim Kindberg has carried out expert patent analysis for us on a variety of software topics, including reports on validity and infringement. He has a rigorous approach and wide technical knowledge, and has proved a resourceful analyst. His contributions have been clear and valuable.”

Hogan Lovells

“Working with Tim Kindberg of Matter II Media on our recent project, Fortnight, was a dream come true: here was a technologist who thinks like an artist and was able to help us to think through our ideas carefully so that we could best utilise the technology to support our project. He found creative solutions to fit our ambitions and went above the call of duty several times in moments of pressure. We would highly recommend him to anyone working in the intersection of art and technology.”
