ABOUT US
ICO is a creative production company that focuses on developing new forms of media.
Our products engage, inform and entertain.
In all of our work we aim to completely indulge the audience in the emotional process
and make the technical parameters virtually invisible.
ICO develops digital innovations for all forms of media (often interconnecting them)
from television, to mobile applications, the internet and beyond.
At the end of the day, the platform is not important it is the experience that counts.

AGENTS
COMPLEX SYSTEMS MADE SIMPLE
Thomas Schelling, in 1971, showed that a small preference for one’s neighbors to be of the same color could lead to total segregation. He used coins on graph
paper to demonstrate his theory by placing pennies and nickels in different patterns on the “board” and then moving them one by one if they were in an
“unhappy” situation.

AGENTS
COMPLEX SYSTEMS MADE SIMPLE
Making complex systems more tangible for a broad audience is the key idea behind Agents. We combine narrative
structures with agent-based modeling for unveiling the underlying patterns in complex systems.
