Digital Innovation of Ideas.

House of Thought is an experimental creative research practice and consultancy aimed at bridging expansive critical ideas and technology founded by Michael Salu.

We believe technology should be in service to ideas and creative culture crucial to societal and environmental improvement.
Curious about evolving visual and technological culture and its impact on our lives, House of Thought is a space for research, experimentation and creative production.
We develop and collaborate on narratively-oriented interdisciplinary projects across academia, culture and business.

Our projects start with ideas,
followed by the most suitable tools and methods for the job, including mixed reality technologies, machine learning and film.
