PhD Viva in a Dolls House 2024 // Live

LIVE CAM Kyle Matson
Instead of a tradtitional academic presentation, I scored my PhD viva as a series of songs on wallpaper inside the miniature world of an illuminated dolls house. My research outcomes are sung in lyric format as well as being revealed as the pieces of dolls house furniture are played across a chess board. The head of research Kevin Voets emailed the next morning to say that is was "one of the stongest PhD presentations I ever witnessed"
I performed the dolls house piece again at the Concertbouw in Bruges.
