Experience projects developed during the Immersive Media Design Program’s New Works Incubator, a six-week summer development program designed to support the creation of immersive media projects by students from across the UMD campus. The Incubator enables individual student creators and teams to explore new areas of immersive media and to create works based on their own interests and initiative.
The following projects will be showcased at The Clarice:
An audience’s initial interaction with a concert, a new play or a choreographer’s new dance piece does not always occur when performers first take the stage. Promotional posters and fliers—affixed to bare walls, stapled to telephone poles or handed out on the street—are often the first point of contact between an artistic work and audience members. In an 8 ½”x11” leaflet or a 27”x40” poster, graphic designers distill the core of a new work in letterform and illustration.
