Madscape | DDM222 Final Year Exhibition
by Dasein Digital Media | 9 Apr, 2025 | Event, Exhibition, Project
How can design and technology help us fight climate change? At Dasein Academy of Art, students explored this question through MADSCAPE, an interactive exhibition featuring over 10 digital media installations. Centred on SDG 13: Climate Action, the exhibition turned our campus into an immersive space filled with ideas for a greener future.
Through projects like Taste of Tomorrow, Coral Vanish, GreenCook, Roots of Life, and Evergreen Garden, students addressed the environmental impact of everyday habits—from food delivery and sunscreen use to burial practices. Each project used digital tools like projection mapping, motion sensors, and interactive storytelling to spark awareness and solutions.
The goal was simple: to show how small changes in our daily choices can make a big difference for the planet. By combining art, design and technology, MADSCAPE invited us to imagine what a better future could look like, starting now.
What made the exhibition especially engaging was its use of interactive storytelling and digital tools. Technologies such as Unity, Arduino, and motion sensors were used to create immersive experiences, allowing users to make choices, trigger animations, and see the consequences of their actions in real time. This hands-on approach helped communicate the urgency of climate issues in a way that feels personal and accessible.
