This study aims to discover a more explicit or accessible way to interpret and navigate inconsistencies and “wrongness” in the creation of meaning. In researching cultural perceptions on the topic, I have learned that there is a long history of embracing dissonance to evolve new structures and deconstruct conventional forms.

Dissonance as a Design Effect dismantles binary oppositions as it relates to perceiving and interpreting, order and chaos, dynamic and stillness, opening and closing to explore the space between.

Made as a thesis project at Pratt Institute, supervised by Prof. Michael Dyer.
