MDEFest

In the two final weeks of June all MDEF (thesis) projects including installations, workshops, prototypes and tastings were presented in several locations in Barcelona.

Total setup

In the weeks leading up to the event we worked on selecting the venues and preparing artifacts and materials for the exhibitions. Throughout the city several events took place varying from eco-interactive installations to art performances, technical displays and workshops.
