Visual Argument: The Technology of Affect, October 2001
Final Thesis Document, Spring 2001
After the thesis was complete, Robert and I established AUDC and reworked the Muzak project, removing the architectural proposal for Muzak to instead focus on how Muzak influenced architecture.
In fall of 2004, we installed Muzak at the Art Center College of Design’s Gardenlab Experiment exhibit. The exhibit is documented online at AUDC’s site. Our research on Muzak was published in Verb 4: Conditioning, published by ACTAR and also in Blue Monday.
