Designing The Future of Music
Five years of postgraduate design education programs that we authored and produced to foster the invention of new means to connect to music more deeply.
Program Development
Education
Sponsored by Google, Macroscopic authored multiple years of design innovation programs aimed at uncovering new practices in technology, photography, film, video, graphic design, experiential and industrial design, to harness and transform and reimagine how we connect to music – one of the most sublime human experiences – for the sake of fostering greater discovery, experience, community and access. Working with academic leadership at both RCA and CCA we developed a trans global studio between the schools. Outcomes from the 2023 San Francisco based CCA program were exhibited at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts with an opening concert by renowned musician and technology pioneer Suzanne Ciani.
Approach
Authoring and bringing to life academic workshops for graduate design students, designers and makers to illuminate the power of connection and experience, bringing people together and making change happen through the power of music and design. We wanted to make these accessible so we utilized a multi-pronged approach.
