Updated bio:
Yangos Hadjiyannis is an Experience Director at the Multimodal Media Lab whose work explores how stories evolve into living, multimodal worlds. At the intersection of art, technology, and culture, his mission is to pioneer the language of storyliving — transforming narrative into multisensory, emotionally resonant experiences across the physical and digital spaces. Over the past two decades, he has directed more than 250 digital and immersive projects, events, pitches, and campaigns, developing frameworks that empower creators to design for presence, empathy, and collective imagination.
Some of his notable projects include Alexandria: Port of Worlds, the official virtual world of the Cannes XR International Film Festival, where myth and architecture converge into an interactive cultural nexus; Love on a Plate, a multisensory Apple Vision Pro experience that redefines culinary storytelling through spatial media; and the SIGGRAPH VR Theater: Living Sanctuary, a re-envisioned immersive showcase merging narrative cinema, reactive flora, and mixed-reality performance. Across these projects and his ongoing initiatives at the Multimodal Media Lab, Yangos continues to shape the future of immersive storytelling — one where technology becomes a vessel for the senses, meaning, connection, and wonder.
