“Seeing / Sounding / Sensing” was an intensive two-day event at MIT that invited creative artists to join with philosophers, cognitive neuroscientists, anthropologists, historians, and scholars from a range of disciplines in an open-ended discussion about knowledge production.

Elements of the design suite included print and digital publicity, a registration website, giveaway tote bags, wayfinding signage, a printed and bound program, name tags, and digital presentations.
