What AV Extended does

AV Extended is a French multimedia studio and lighting designer founded in 2016 and headquartered in Beaugency with operations at Les Ateliers éclairés in Strasbourg. The legal entity is AV Exciters. The studio specializes in monumental projection mapping, immersive digital art, and 360-degree dome experiences, executing site-specific installations on heritage architecture (Arc de Triomphe, Mont-Saint-Michel, Christ the Redeemer), producing immersive exhibitions for digital art venues (Château de Beaugency Centre d'Art Numérique), designing scenography for electronic music artists and festivals (Monumental Tour with DJ Michael Canitrot, Tomorrowland, Bon Entendeur), and creating brand activations for automotive and consumer clients (Volkswagen, Porsche, Nissan, Puma, Caisse d'Épargne).

The company operates across three integrated revenue streams: professional services for projection mapping and scenography projects, hardware sales and rentals of its proprietary AV Dome 360-degree immersive solution (with Touch Designer-based multi-source synchronization and blending), and digital art licensing including NFT releases from the Château de Beaugency. Its core technology stack centers on Touch Designer content authoring, Modulo Pi media servers, Madmapper mapping software, and Panasonic projection hardware, supported by partnerships with Robe Lighting for stage fixtures. The studio maintains a variable-geometry delivery model with a core team of 16 supplemented by freelance specialists, enabling it to scale for large international monument projects without proportional fixed-cost expansion.

AV Extended reaches customers through direct project engagement initiated via its website, referrals from technology partners (Panasonic, Modulo Pi, Madmapper), and ecosystem positioning through the Hacnum national digital arts network and co-creation alliances (Super Idée, Nouvelle Cuisine for the Lumières d'Hiver winter lights brand). Pricing is quote-based and non-public, reflecting a custom professional services model. The studio operates internationally with documented projects in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, USA, Canada, Brazil, UAE, Morocco, and Singapore, and is embedded within an affiliated entity cluster (AV Exciters, AV Dome, AV Lab, Château de Beaugency, Les Ateliers éclairés, Studio DAAO).
