H-4 is a new platform powered by HIDE Productions (a multi-disciplinary collective founded in 2018) – This new digital place aims to create a network of&for creative people. H-4 wants to connect creators and projects from allover the world through a network where creators can find both useful tools (fonts, devices, softwares, sample packs, etc) and publish/present their own products which may in turn be useful for other creators, thus building a self-powered circuit, disconnected from the unilateral systems we are used to.

H-4 | HIDE Productions firmly believes in decentralisation and we want to achieve a functional system where artists and creatives can find new ways to express themselves outside the (sometimes) limiting system of the artist – client relationship.

H-4 is not only a platform for sourcing and publishing digital tools, but also a provider of high-quality services with strong expertise in the creative sector. Our team brings over a decade of experience in art direction, graphic design, event management, mixing and mastering services, video editing, 3D, sound design, and more. In addition, thanks to our network, we are able to connect people with the most suitable specialists and creatives for their specific needs.

Manifesto
The aim of H-4 | HIDE is to spread and develop a functional post-digital culture (through visual, sound, graphic and technological research) and art that is not only a mere narrative of the current historical period, but also a driving force for a proactive and future-oriented forma mentis.

With the constant stream of tragic events unfolding in the contemporary era, many people have lost sight of a life oriented toward the future and cooperation. We unconsciously place our hopes in a deity called “Technology” to grant us access to a better future; yet often without taking action in the present to bring that vision to life. H-4, within its specific field of interest (art and culture), strives to act in this direction by connecting people and developing innovative digital tools.

“We feel helpless when it comes to the upcoming future, we blindly believe in the deity called “technology” and treat it as the only possible salvation from the ecological and social decline, yet we do not actively contribute to its development. The artistic proposal by HIDE project aims to spread (even just conceptually) the chance to evolve using the digital tools that are available to us (music, graphics, design, art, etc…). HIDE thus embraces a post-digital idea of the world in which we play an active role and feel as a functional part of a whole system.”
