Join us tomorrow (6/6) for an ANTI-RACIST TEACH-IN

Congratulations to our graduating #thesis students

Join us for 2020 THESIS LIVE at 2pm this Friday,

Starting this week it’s all about #thesis! This

As our #thesis students get ready to graduate, we’re looking back on some of their first projects. How did these early ideas show up in their thesis?

@jarretl created “The City of Waves” in his first semester at MDP where he worked with sound as a design medium, which he carried through to his final thesis. “We live in a world where we often rely on our visual sense to describe our day-to-day environment. But on the contrary, our other senses just as much can help materialize the world around us.

Welcome to the city where we see space through sound waves. In this piece, I created an ever-changing reality where sounds constantly reshape and alter our memories. By mixing the found sounds of a city, the tones reconstruct a sense of familiarity. Accompanied with a map, one can journey through different parts of the city, imagining the space around them.

Do sound waves play a bigger role in our society? What sounds do we take for granted? How do we relate specific acoustics to our own emotional experience?”
