RHYVRB: Design Movement & Club Culture

The project treats rhythm as a hidden language—present not only in music, but also in the layered relationships of shapes, forms, and colors. Although Los Angeles' club scene declined after the pandemic, music lovers shifted to the underground, sparking a more vibrant scene. Inspired by this phenomenon, the project conducts research and attempts to channel the energy of fused auditory experiences within specific spaces into graphic design, exploring more possibilities for the medium. CONCEPT Inspired by underground club culture, this project uses graphic design as a medium to explore how rhythm drives perception, motion, and energy, creating a multisensory experience. It aims to reinvent the possibilities of graphic design: treating design elements as audio tracks, layering effects, and mixing them to craft an immersive multisensory experience that redefines how we understand and practice creativity. EXECUTION including audio-visual interactive design, installation, and workshop prototype.
