The New Frame 2026: Prototopia

A day of innovative experience design featuring projects from the 2026 cohort of the Experience Design Certificate Program, by Odyssey Works
About this Event

Come experience the work of 26 trailblazing experience designers from around the world. The fourth cohort of the Experience Design Certificate Program has spent the past year steeped in research about flow states, pilgrimage, multisensory engagement, indigenous traditions, climate change, and collaborative design methods for reimagining the future. You will have the chance to playtest these unique interactive projects, which span sound walks, intimate performance, rituals, scavenger hunts, 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: Alejandra Garavito Aguilar • Alexandria Rowan • Cameo Wood • Court Roberts • Hope Endrenyi • Jane Chiang • Julie Watson • Karen Fallen-Rhodes • Katie Mack • Katrina Lat • Kimberly Dixon-Mays • Lais Glück • Mariana Jatahy • Mike Marrotte • Mike Subelesky • Paige Kasper • Paul Mendoza • Rebeca González • Setti-Semhal Petros • Tara Ocon • Taylor Spratt
