These unique interactive projects span 1-on-1 performance, collaborative cooking games, portraiture experiences, and interactive installation. Each piece is an invitation to cross the threshold into a new way of experiencing the world.

Led by Odyssey Works, the internationally-acclaimed group which has expanded the notion of experience design and famously made performances for an audience of one for more than two decades, the artists and designers of The New Frame will invite you to rethink the possibilities of design.

Featuring work by: Natalie Whelan ● Kori Martodam ● Jackie Moy ● Marc Chun ● Christian Howard ● Bonnie Gregory ● Sparks ● Karmisha Reeb ● Tara Odorizzi ● Simon Lyshon ● Zainab Azhar ● Steven Boudreau ● Smadar Krampf ● Joel Grinke ● Chris Sallquist ● Letícia Schuelter de Lima ● Rodrigo Correia ● Sara Behbakht ● Joni Chan

If I Love You, I Will Steal Your Clothes
Sunday November 24, 2024 11:00am - 11:15am EST
Touch is how humans stay oriented. Thermal information is directly tied to stronger memory. In addition to the senses of pressure and temperature, our skin allows us to experience the radiance, current, and magnetism of each other.

I’ve made these metal chairs that are heated with wires (like a heated blanket) and they will be placed in the cold weather. People are invited to see the building Doorman who will escort them to the courtyard. My hope is that the warmth in the cold will give a heightened sense.

Thermal environments make visible how the world touches us.

Not Ready
Sunday November 24, 2024 11:00am - 11:15am EST
Joel is ready to show you the greatest thing he has ever made. The thing that expresses everything he is as an artist. He assures you it will be 100% ready by the time you see it.

"Not Ready" is an experience about ambition, the desire to be seen, and the joy of failure where you can make a real impact on the creator by simply offering whatever help you can.

Please note that this experience will last through the durration of the New Frame as you participate in other experiences. This experience requires a phone that is able to send and recieve text messages. Plan to stay at the event until 2pm to fully experience this piece.

The Togetherness through Design mini 1:1 exhibition invites you to pull up a chair, enjoy a warm cup of tea, and immerse yourself in the essence of Travessia (Threshold). Set in an intimate space around a carefully curated table, I’ll share the story and the behind-the-scenes facilitation design as you explore photos and registers capturing the spirit of the experience, along with a video that conveys the atmosphere of the 60-hour immersion—playful territory, intimacy-building, and a shared sense of home in a bucolic setting on a southern Brazilian island. This exhibition offers a space for connection and exchange; your own experiences—whether positive or challenging—in collective enthusiasm and engaged collaboration will become part of the exhibition itself. I would love to hear your stories and reflections. Before you go, take with you a zine featuring the 16 guiding principles—a source of inspiration for your journey forward

Sunday November 24, 2024 11:00am - 11:30am EST
The Map to the inner Maker is an immersive installation of a myth on making.

Beneath a canopy of undulating fabric lies a gentle unveiling. A tale of the made and unmade, of the conception of the Fabric of the Universe itself. And you? You’ll find yourself somewhere in the middle of it all, tinkering with otherworldly devices that whirr and hum with the magic of making, capturing tears of the deepest indigo blue, and witnessing a birth story - the birth story of the archetype of the maker. Your inner maker.

You may find yourself wondering: is it the story unfolding? Or you?

The tale: 20min
The debrief: 10min

All My Relations
Sunday November 24, 2024 11:00am - 11:45am EST
“All my Relations” is a Nordic-style Live Action Role Playing game (LARP) where players embody the living relations of a recently dead matriarch. Inspired by black American mourning and funerary traditions, players gather at a repast/repass—the reunion meal typically held directly after a funeral—to co-create the complex relationships (both individual and collective) we often encounter around loss and death. Celebrating the richness of grief in all its forms—from laughter and jubilation, to sorrow and fear—“All my Relations” invites players to embrace the messiness of grief through play, and to recognize joy and loss as reflections rather than opposites.

But if you can accept these risks and wander curiously into the unknown together, change is possible. 

Each assembly has space for 5 participants and will last approximately 40 minutes. To claim your spot in one of the six assemblies, you must forage your hidden mushroom invitation at The New Frame on the day of the event.

This is a physical, small group experience, set to music. Wear comfortable clothing and get ready to snarl, shake and stomp it out. Or sneeze it out. Whatever it takes—just get it out, will ya?

Touch is how humans stay oriented. Thermal information is directly tied to stronger memory. In addition to the senses of pressure and temperature, our skin allows us to experience the radiance, current, and magnetism of each other.

I’ve made these metal chairs that are heated with wires (like a heated blanket) and they will be placed in the cold weather. People are invited to see the building Doorman who will escort them to the courtyard. My hope is that the warmth in the cold will give a heightened sense.

Thermal environments make visible how the world touches us.

The Map to the inner Maker is an immersive installation of a myth on making.

Beneath a canopy of undulating fabric lies a gentle unveiling. A tale of the made and unmade, of the conception of the Fabric of the Universe itself. And you? You’ll find yourself somewhere in the middle of it all, tinkering with otherworldly devices that whirr and hum with the magic of making, capturing tears of the deepest indigo blue, and witnessing a birth story - the birth story of the archetype of the maker. Your inner maker.

You may find yourself wondering: is it the story unfolding? Or you?

Sunday November 24, 2024 11:45am - 12:30pm EST
“All my Relations” is a Nordic-style Live Action Role Playing game (LARP) where players embody the living relations of a recently dead matriarch. Inspired by black American mourning and funerary traditions, players gather at a repast/repass—the reunion meal typically held directly after a funeral—to co-create the complex relationships (both individual and collective) we often encounter around loss and death. Celebrating the richness of grief in all its forms—from laughter and jubilation, to sorrow and fear—“All my Relations” invites players to embrace the messiness of grief through play, and to recognize joy and loss as reflections rather than opposites.

Touch is how humans stay oriented. Thermal information is directly tied to stronger memory. In addition to the senses of pressure and temperature, our skin allows us to experience the radiance, current, and magnetism of each other.

I’ve made these metal chairs that are heated with wires (like a heated blanket) and they will be placed in the cold weather. People are invited to see the building Doorman who will escort them to the courtyard. My hope is that the warmth in the cold will give a heightened sense.

Thermal environments make visible how the world touches us.

Togetherness through Design - Talk
Sunday November 24, 2024 1:30pm - 2:00pm EST
The talk Togetherness through Design will cover Travessia (Threshold)—not a retreat, not a program, but an immersion built on 16 principles of deep collaborative engagement across four pillars—relation, transcendence, sense and meaning, and self-actualization—this methodology is the result of a decade-long collaborative labor of love. Travessia confronts the isolation bred by individualism, passivity, and consumerism, reawakening us to what truly matters. Set on a bucolic island in southern Brazil, this 60-hour immersive experience invited participants to reconnect with themselves and others in a space that evokes a sense of home, fostering playful exploration and intimacy-building. In a society that has lost its rituals, Travessia creates a collective space to honor life’s transformations and invites participants to pause, reflect, and establish essential rites of passage for their journey ahead.

The Unfolding - video presentation
Sunday November 24, 2024 2:00pm - 2:15pm EST
The Unfolding transforms how we see ourselves—both literally and metaphorically. In this collaborative, one-on-one portrait session, the image becomes the starting point for a deeper exploration of identity. Through meaningful conversation and photography, the portrait is physically manipulated—folded, warped, and reshaped by hand. Inspired by wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection, the process creates something unexpected from the familiar. Each session culminates in a museum-quality fine art print, co-signed by both the participant and the artist—a lasting record of this shared journey into the otherwise invisible.

You’ll find yourself somewhere in the middle of it all, tinkering with otherworldly devices that whirr and hum with the magic of making, capturing tears of the deepest indigo blue, and witnessing a birth story - the birth story of the archetype of the maker. Your inner maker.

You may find yourself wondering: is it the story unfolding? Or you?

The tale: 20min
The debrief: 10min

When was the last time you took out your emotional trash?

The head garbage collector for the New York Department of Emotional Sanitation will guide you through the department's patented process for sorting, compacting, and composting your emotional trash.

This is a physical, small group experience, set to music. Wear comfortable clothing and get ready to snarl, shake and stomp it out. Or sneeze it out. Whatever it takes—just get it out, will ya?

All My Relations
Sunday November 24, 2024 2:30pm - 3:15pm EST
“All my Relations” is a Nordic-style Live Action Role Playing game (LARP) where players embody the living relations of a recently dead matriarch. Inspired by black American mourning and funerary traditions, players gather at a repast/repass—the reunion meal typically held directly after a funeral—to co-create the complex relationships (both individual and collective) we often encounter around loss and death. Celebrating the richness of grief in all its forms—from laughter and jubilation, to sorrow and fear—“All my Relations” invites players to embrace the messiness of grief through play, and to recognize joy and loss as reflections rather than opposites.

Touch is how humans stay oriented. Thermal information is directly tied to stronger memory. In addition to the senses of pressure and temperature, our skin allows us to experience the radiance, current, and magnetism of each other.

I’ve made these metal chairs that are heated with wires (like a heated blanket) and they will be placed in the cold weather. People are invited to see the building Doorman who will escort them to the courtyard. My hope is that the warmth in the cold will give a heightened sense.

You’ll find yourself somewhere in the middle of it all, tinkering with otherworldly devices that whirr and hum with the magic of making, capturing tears of the deepest indigo blue, and witnessing a birth story - the birth story of the archetype of the maker. Your inner maker.

You may find yourself wondering: is it the story unfolding? Or you?

The tale: 20min
The debrief: 10min

“All my Relations” is a Nordic-style Live Action Role Playing game (LARP) where players embody the living relations of a recently dead matriarch. Inspired by black American mourning and funerary traditions, players gather at a repast/repass—the reunion meal typically held directly after a funeral—to co-create the complex relationships (both individual and collective) we often encounter around loss and death. Celebrating the richness of grief in all its forms—from laughter and jubilation, to sorrow and fear—“All my Relations” invites players to embrace the messiness of grief through play, and to recognize joy and loss as reflections rather than opposites.

Ever wonder why you feel so…something? Have your feelings been building up, spilling out, perhaps even leaving behind a sticky trail of a decidedly unsavory color/odor/texture?

When was the last time you took out your emotional trash?

The head garbage collector for the New York Department of Emotional Sanitation will guide you through the department's patented process for sorting, compacting, and composting your emotional trash.

This is a physical, small group experience, set to music. Wear comfortable clothing and get ready to snarl, shake and stomp it out. Or sneeze it out. Whatever it takes—just get it out, will ya?

Touch is how humans stay oriented. Thermal information is directly tied to stronger memory. In addition to the senses of pressure and temperature, our skin allows us to experience the radiance, current, and magnetism of each other.

I’ve made these metal chairs that are heated with wires (like a heated blanket) and they will be placed in the cold weather. People are invited to see the building Doorman who will escort them to the courtyard. My hope is that the warmth in the cold will give a heightened sense.

Thermal environments make visible how the world touches us.

Beneath a canopy of undulating fabric lies a gentle unveiling. A tale of the made and unmade, of the conception of the Fabric of the Universe itself. And you? You’ll find yourself somewhere in the middle of it all, tinkering with otherworldly devices that whirr and hum with the magic of making, capturing tears of the deepest indigo blue, and witnessing a birth story - the birth story of the archetype of the maker. Your inner maker.

You may find yourself wondering: is it the story unfolding? Or you?

The tale: 20min
The debrief: 10min

“All my Relations” is a Nordic-style Live Action Role Playing game (LARP) where players embody the living relations of a recently dead matriarch. Inspired by black American mourning and funerary traditions, players gather at a repast/repass—the reunion meal typically held directly after a funeral—to co-create the complex relationships (both individual and collective) we often encounter around loss and death. Celebrating the richness of grief in all its forms—from laughter and jubilation, to sorrow and fear—“All my Relations” invites players to embrace the messiness of grief through play, and to recognize joy and loss as reflections rather than opposites.

Using 40 Personal Journey Mapping Cards—each representing key principles that can inspire transformation—you’ll move from curiosity to a deeper understanding of how these principles can guide and enrich your journey. Throughout the experience you will be encouraged to take risks, release the unnecessary, and embrace your creative spirit.

Emotional Trash Processing
Sunday November 24, 2024 4:30pm - 5:00pm EST
Ever wonder why you feel so…something? Have your feelings been building up, spilling out, perhaps even leaving behind a sticky trail of a decidedly unsavory color/odor/texture?

When was the last time you took out your emotional trash?

The head garbage collector for the New York Department of Emotional Sanitation will guide you through the department's patented process for sorting, compacting, and composting your emotional trash.

This is a physical, small group experience, set to music. Wear comfortable clothing and get ready to snarl, shake and stomp it out. Or sneeze it out. Whatever it takes—just get it out, will ya?

If I Love You, I Will Steal Your Clothes
Sunday November 24, 2024 4:45pm - 5:00pm EST
Touch is how humans stay oriented. Thermal information is directly tied to stronger memory. In addition to the senses of pressure and temperature, our skin allows us to experience the radiance, current, and magnetism of each other.

I’ve made these metal chairs that are heated with wires (like a heated blanket) and they will be placed in the cold weather. People are invited to see the building Doorman who will escort them to the courtyard. My hope is that the warmth in the cold will give a heightened sense.

Thermal environments make visible how the world touches us.

This is the second part of the “Not Ready” experience. Please sign up for either the 11am or 2:30pm time slot to experience the full piece

"Not Ready" is an experience about ambition, the desire to be seen, and the joy of failure where you can make a real impact on the creator by simply offering whatever help you can.

Please note that this experience will last through the durration of the New Frame as you participate in other experiences. This experience requires a phone that is able to send and recieve text messages. Plan to stay at the event until 5:30pm to fully experience this piece.
