Experience Design Book Launch Immersive Event - Main Image

Join us for the NYC book release of Experience Design: A Participatory Manifesto by Abraham Burickson. Not your usual book event, this gathering will be an opportunity to explore the ideas in the book, meet other folks interested in experience design, and get to know a burgeoning NYC community of experience designers. Get your copy of the book, signed! Pre-order when you register on Eventbrite so that your copy will be waiting for you. You will be receiving the book a few days ahead of the publisher's official release date! Experience Vaulting an installation by This Yearning: set in a near future when humanity is moving beyond Earth. Participants embrace a new genetic identity, capable of survival in harsh extraplanetary environments. Based on the ancient myth of Myrrha – who was transformed into a tree after succumbing to her illicit desires – and modern space exploration protocols, Vaulting immerses participants in verdant sound and smell-scapes that encourage novel sensations and the expansion of self into that of a greater macro-organism. Learn about how to get involved with the Odyssey Works NYC community and their upcoming gatherings. Event is hosted by Prime Produce, a grassroots, cooperatively-run member space, and a place where friends, family, and neighbors cultivate the craft of community service. Event is free, but you may purchase books and support Prime Produce with a donation at eventbrite registration
