Who are we?
Bowen Technovation was founded in 1985 as one of the nation's first producers of high-end computer-assisted sound design and music scores for TV, radio, corporate and lots of documentary/educational work.

Through the late ‘80's and at the request of clients we became a leading-edge designer and installer of high-end audio, video, control and lighting systems for museums, science centers, planetariums, and IMAX theaters. We are highly respected internationally by big-name manufacturers, architects, exhibit designers, facilities managers, and CEOs.

What do we REALLY do?
This means we start from generating the AutoCAD and 3Dmax project and architectural drawings and make sure all the sound systems, video projectors, plasmas, touchscreens, and lighting systems are all installed properly and working together. We also provide client training and technical support for years after the installation.

We also produce program content for these clients and maintain our own recording studio and video editing/animation suites.

Where do we work? With whom?
Our team works primarily nationally and internationally on such projects but also has a significant Indiana client base that includes major projects for the Indianapolis Colts, Children's Museum, Indiana State Museum, the new Central Library, Carmel, Lawrence North and Pike planetariums, Pike Center for the Performing Arts and the Internet II 3D visualization theater at the new IUPUI Informatics Center.

Who else works at BT?
We think the greatest staff in the world and our clients agree! It is remarkable how all our people get along so well and help each other out. No back-stabbing or nasty attitudes. Read about some of our talented hard-working gang at www.bowentechnovation.com/people.
