studio wzzzt plays and produces
in the field immersive arts.
Nienke Huitenga Broeren is an award-winning immersive director and producer. Her designs stem from a curiosity for how technology sharpens our understanding of being human. Her latest VR documentary LACUNA about memory and identity premiered in the immersive competition at Cannes 2025. In the past years she has worked on a generative audio experience titled DRIFT (2024) that speculates about post-climate crisis Netherlands, a performative hybrid lecture OFF THE RECORD (2023) and debuted with the non-fiction VR story ROZSYPNE (2019) at IDFA DocLab. In Utrecht she runs Studio ZZZAP where she blends an XR practice with digital art and experiential storytelling.
Her practice is influenced by an interdisciplinary perspective on mediated experiences: technology is never the starting point in her work, yet an important tool for addressing societal, cultural and personal experiences. Operating from Utrecht, she heads production house Studio ZZZAP where she is currently developing four new pieces. All her personal work is labeled under studio wzzzt.
