On November 19 2025, Modulo Pi celebrated its 15th anniversary at Atelier des Lumières in Paris. Clients, distributors, collaborators, operators, and creative studios gathered to mark this milestone and revisit the story of the company founded in 2010 by engineer Yannick Kohn.
Yannick Kohn recalled in his speech to the audience: “The early days of Modulo Pi were all about passion, heads bursting with ideas, and countless hours of development — with no investors, simply driven by the desire to create a tool truly tailored to real-world field needs.”
This vision led to the launch of Modulo Player in 2012 and Modulo Kinetic in 2016. These two distinct platforms were designed for different applications: Modulo Player as a simple and robust tool for everyday projects, and Modulo Kinetic as a system built for large-scale shows, interactivity, and real-time applications.
Since then, Modulo Pi has become a leader in France and expanded internationally, working with distributors in Japan, China, the Benelux region, the United States, and Canada, alongside its own direct operations. The company’s solutions are widely used in the event industry — corporate events, fashion, live shows — and in permanent installations for theme parks, museums, and immersive venues.
The celebration took place at Atelier des Lumières, an iconic digital art center that opened in 2018. The venue is equipped with 140 video projectors and 35 Modulo Kinetic media servers. Guests were able to explore the venue illuminated in Modulo Pi’s colors, revisit key moments of the company’s journey through videos retracing fifteen years of technological and human adventure, and discover the immersive exhibition The Little Prince, created by the studio Spectre Lab.
Attendees also had the chance to experience the Kids’ Atelier, a 160-sqm interactive immersive room inaugurated in 2025. In this space, visitors’ drawings are scanned and integrated into the projection in real time, allowing direct interaction with the wall content, powered by the latest Modulo Kinetic features.
Since their initial release, the Modulo Player and Modulo Kinetic platforms have continued to evolve thanks to the strong connection maintained with clients and end-users. As Yannick Kohn underlined: “What I’m most proud of, in the end, is not just the technology. It’s the spirit we’ve managed to preserve: staying accessible, listening to real field needs, continuing to innovate based on our clients’ projects, and striving to remain simple, even on very complex setups.”
