checkpointmedia.
checkpointmedia was founded in 2001 by a group of Austrian multimedia pioneers who had already been collaborating as a network for years. The company was initially based at the Haus der Musik in central Vienna; today its office is at Seilerstätte 13.
The company works at the intersection of art, culture and economy. Its core is immersive multimedia experiences for exhibitions, museums and visitor centers: from concept through scenography and storytelling to technical realisation. The managing directors are Stefan Unger, Marc Schuran and Virgil Widrich, surrounded by a dynamic network of collaborators.
