Degree Show Season [updated]

May 20 2012

Many schools and programs are having their degree shows at this time of year. I tought it would be interesting to collect and review intriguing and inspiring IxD work, while UID IxD graduating students are wrapping up their final projects. Reminder: UID’12 Design Talks and Degree Exhibition will take place June 4-5, more info at http://www.uid.umu.se/12.

ITP Spring Show 2012
Tisch School of the Arts, New York
http://itp.nyu.edu/shows/spring2012/category/projects/.

I like Bricolo mechanical music, Descriptive Camera and BurritobOt.

All the thesis project presentations (including speaker, slides, crowd video streams) are available here. Amazing, but if you don’t know the projects, it’s hard to navigate a bit just by unknown names…

Interactive Art and Computational Design, Spring 2012
Carnegie Mellon University
http://golancourses.net/2012spring/category/finalproject/

Great documentation of the final projects. These are for one course taught by Golan Levin, not a full program.

IN/VISION, 2012 MFA Interaction Design Festival
School of Visual Arts, New York

It’s hard to differentiate course projects from thesis endeavours, but a few are listed here.

Goldsmiths UG Degree Show
London

Coming soon, but the 2011 crop crop looks pretty sweet, so 2012 should be good too!

HDK – School of Design and Crafts
Gothenburg
Website and www.hdkexamen2012.se (in swedish, nice countdown)

From our southern neighbours in Gothenburg, the exhibition is set for June 2-10, but it seems many projects are already viewable: Design BA,Design MA, Child Culture Design MA and Business & Design MA.

Konstfack Degree Exhibition 2012
Stockholm
www.konstfack2012.se

The exhibition is running now, May 16th to 27th. The online exhibition has basic coverage of most projects. The most relevant and closest to IxD are Experience Design and Formgiving Intelligence MA, plus Industrial Design BA. UID alumnus Hampus Edström has his MA project online but the images are missing.

Carleton University School of Industrial Design
Ottawa, Canada
exhibition.id.carleton.ca

This canadian school offers both BA and MA programs in Industrial Design. The exhibition is divided in interest groups:Access Sport (sport + disabilities), Blue Sky, Fireline (forest firefighting), Lucid Space (office/workplace), Sprout (interesting technologies for social interaction) and Start (business-oriented). Horizontal scroll to discover the projects!

Emily Carr University of Art + Design Grad Exhibition 2012
Vancouver, Canada
grad2012.ecuad.ca

A diverse set of projects under Design (BA I assume) and Master of Applied Arts (MAA).

I’ll add more soon, and you are very welcome to contribute your best links.

Is there any way you guys could stream the degree talks? I’d love to watch them but can’t make it to UmeÃ¥.

May 17 2012

I’m not sure about the final degree presentations next week (official evaluation), but I think the Design Talks ones will be. Last year, the event was streamed via Bambuser http://bambuser.com/channel/uid

I’ll ask Olof to check this year’s setup/plan.

I think the University of Washington did a good job on their degree show promotion
