Founded in 1988 in San Francisco by Artistic Director Randall Packer, Zakros InterArts began as a pioneering experimental performance and media arts company exploring the integration of technology, performance art, and cultural critique.
Now based in Washington, DC —where power, policy, and media converge—we convene artists, engineers, scholars, and the public to engage urgent questions of art, democracy and media. From our Underground Studio Bunker, we stage theater for the network: immersive, distributed, and born in the third space.

CALL TO ACTION
Project 2026 is a call to action: join the creative work of building a new cultural commons. Zakros InterArts invites members to enter the studio, rehearsal, and livestream—bringing their work, curiosity, and critique to a shared experiment in democratic media. Together we aim to create an immersive, participatory, and socially engaged digital infrastructure that resists extraction and spectacle. As a Zakros member, you’ll be invited to take part in the development of Project 2026, stay informed about events and news, and be part of The Build—a hands-on community shaping what comes next.
