Broadcasting since 1999, DUBLAB is a 100% member-supported, volunteer-run, non-profit radio station devoted to the growth of music, art, culture, and everything in between.
DUBLAB's identity system is a set of bespoke tools for the creation of infinitely more assets, including: two custom typefaces, DB Circuit (based on soundwaves) and DB 70 (based on Data70 in Square and Sine variants).
I designed a poster series and installation that generates form based on sound, and an interactive poster-making installation that allows users to print their work with a hacked dot matrix printer and take it home with them.
The same dot matrix printer was also used for collateral. DUBLAB's identity is as experimental and ever-morphing as the entity is itself.
Entity:
Dublab (online radio station)
Event:
Indeterminacy (exploring chance in music through John Cage and more)
Poster generation software allows guests to create their own unique poster
using a controlled set of parameters, print it with a dot matrix printer,
display it through the duration of the event, and take it home at the end
to commemorate the unique, time-based nature of musical performance. Instead
of designing a traditional poster, I wanted to approach it as a sandbox for
users to create their own graphic works within a system of my creation.
