ANTIHYPE for investigations
We know all about people's online behavior
ANTIHYPE is an experimental laboratory for new forms of journalism. We're focused on creating the world's best user experience for data, enabling people to ask tough questions and find unexpected answers. By following digital footprints we are the first to spot the earliest signs of important signals of events, risks and threats in open data so that newsrooms around the world can respond quickly and deal effectively with crises.
We are a young and audacious team that lights a fire in hearts with investigative journalism to shine a light into the dark corners of social and political injustice and wake up post-democratic zombies. We look for the most important problems - those that threaten not only the world's most important institutions, but also the people they serve. We draw inspiration and learn from art, hacking, politics and big business to develop provocative and critical media interventions.

Act. Affect. Change.
ANTIHYPE is the antagonist of traditional media. We understand that to act differently and swim against the current, you need to be either a visionary or a madman. However, radical and complex systemic changes are only possible thanks to those who boldly take risks and discover unexpected, creative solutions to problems.
We expose the dirty business hidden behind glossy advertising. We consistently challenge corporations, political propaganda, dictatorship, censorship, xenophobia, and societal apathy through innovative investigations and art. We employ daring methods of experimental journalism that spark debate and encourage risk-taking while addressing taboo topics.
You can argue with us, you can fear us, but you cannot ignore us—because we are the harbingers of change. We are rebels, dreamers, provocateurs, and disruptors.
We are ANTIHYPE. And we act!
Our DROPS
There is a lot of sensational investigative journalism done by talented researchers, but it rarely makes it into the mainstream. Often they simply lack the creativity to think of ways to generate momentum in the media to increase distribution. ANTIHYPE solves this problem by grabbing the public's attention with their innovative and often audacious projects, making a significant impact on both the media and mainstream culture. Through provocative releases and scandalous marketing, our drops go viral. Here are some of our most favorite and impressive projects.
Imagine a world where the shopping experience is transported beyond the boundaries of reality, opening up new opportunities to interact with a product before you even buy it. As part of an investigative journalism piece on fast food in which we uncovered the shocking truth about the greedy, corrupt and cynical meat industry that threatens people and animals around the world, we made a project in augmented reality - a technology that overlays digital components onto the real world these objects can be seen through a smartphone screen. We placed our online project in the context of a large fast food restaurant chain. By interacting with this virtual object it was possible to learn the details of our investigation. This stunt instantly went viral and attracted much more attention than we could have expected.
