Many experience designers struggle to move beyond surface-level “wow effects” and create experiences that genuinely move people and stay in memory.
This talk explores why some of today’s most impactful experiences come from the worlds of contemporary art & technology rather than from traditional experience design alone.
Drawing on over 15 years of curating interactive and immersive art projects, Marie du Chastel shares inspiring artistic examples and practical principles that experience professionals can apply to design more emotional, multisensory and meaningful experiences using technology.
Key takeaways:
- A practical framework for designing emotional impact, inspired by artistic practice.
- Core principles of multisensory experience design (sound, space, body, interaction) and emerging technologies (XR, spatial audio, real-time systems) applicable to live, immersive and hybrid experiences.
- A curated set of artistic references and project typologies to inspire future experience concepts.
