Pioneering new ways to inspire wonder and imagination

Creative Machines is a multi-disciplinary design and fabrication firm that creates interactive exhibits, kinetic rolling ball machines, site-specific sculptures, and public artwork. We make objects and environments that encourage creativity, support interaction and transform spaces.

For 25 years we have been making dynamic experiences for museums, science centers, libraries, hospitals, university campuses, transit stops, art museums, children’s museums, trade shows, professional conferences, private residences, and public spaces across the globe. Regardless of the time of day, someone somewhere is enjoying our work.
