Strategy: We don’t believe in Design Thinking.
We believe in critical collisions, synthesis, re-orientation, dialogue, critique, feedback, and research to catalyze your work.
Therapy: Do you need a project critique?
We offer “project therapy”: a test kitchen to evolve your ideas. Are you amidst a pivot? Are you stuck in a complicated workflow? Do you need to re-ground your concept? Set up one-on-one consultations with Sentient Volume.
Applied Research: Physical Output.
Our research questions alternative reference frames for how bodies make sense of the environment. Our work includes arts-based architectural modifications to homes, buildings, and landscapes.
Gallery: Giving a body to discussion.
We have launched contemporary art spaces, dedicated to supporting emerging artists and fostering alternative perspectives on traditional mediums and emerging technologies. Check out Spill Gallery in Red Hook and ISOVIST gallery at Yale CCAM.
Film: A medium for impossible space.
Writing: Giving a context.
We participate in interdiciplinary discourse through writing. Our writing has appeared in recent publications including the Ultra Space Printed Volume, Perspecta 56, and Maquette.
Clients: Co-conspirators...
We offer an alternative to Leadership Development for creative people. These are some of the clients and entities we work with. At Sentient Volume we work with a range of individuals from early career creatives all the way to C-Suite executives.
