Come experience the work of 19 trailblazing experience designers from around the world. The third cohort of the Experience Design Certificate Program has spent the past year reimagining death rituals, community action, creative processes, reproductive justice, and responses to climate catastrophe. 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

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.

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

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?

“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.

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?

“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.

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?

“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.

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

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

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?

“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.
