Aerosoap is an interdisciplinary creative laboratory from Düsseldorf, Germany, which realizes free and order-oriented projects at the interface of art, design and science. Following their slogan "We let material speak" Thomas Wirtz and Frédéric Wiegand develop floating, flowing, vibrating or glowing visuals and live experiences.

Using a mixture of physics, chemistry and technology, they create modular systems in the form of controllable machines, kinetic installations or interactive objects of various kinds, all of which pursue the same goal: Messages should become real and tangible experiences.
