In this brave new world, brands and creatives alike have been turning to technological tools and platforms to recreate in-person experiences and community spaces in the digital realm, and to incorporate tech elements in physical spaces. It is a reminder that the spaces we inhabit or visit are not purely functional - they also serve to inform and enhance the human experience, and to connect us to our environments and each other.
In the fourth talk of the quarterly series presented by SEGD (Society for Experiential Graphic Design) Singapore Chapter, join three multi-faceted practices from Singapore and Canada as they discuss digital placemaking, immersive design and the use of digital tools for multi-sensorial spatial experiences. Learn how these creatives are using a mix of traditional and digital tools to create new placemaking opportunities and experiences to engage their audience.
