Darius Ou: Physical and Digital Technologies in Graphic Design
FINAL RESEARCH presents SESSION, an initiative with the goal of creating a space for global design discourse through live lecture, platforming people and practices that critically engage with design and research.
Our first guest is Darius Ou, a Singapore-based graphic designer whose practice focuses on typography, motion design and graphic lore. He runs hyperpress, a research initiative and body of work exploring the intersections of 3D printing, graphic design and publishing—producing 3D printed books, objects and texts. He is a recipient of the ADC New York Young Guns 21 award, and the Tokyo Type Directors Club Annual Award 2026.
SESSION is hosted at New Stadium in Toronto with our guest speakers joining us virtually.
Run of Show
Doors open at 7 and talks begin at 7:45. There will be time for Q&A and social after the presentation.
