This year’s exhibition is different. As graduates, we have had to adapt to new and challenging circumstances. Moving to an online environment, we had to think of alternate ways to make our Graduate Exhibition come to life. In its translation into a digital space, the very real and tactile nature of the work we produce is obscured. In our daily lives, there is a sense of human and material touch which is equally obscured. Working from home, graduates are in a new environment. Their creative output extends into their domestic lives as their studies come to a close. It is the parallel between the materiality of our work and the absence of the sense touch that frames this year’s Graduate Exhibition.

This website presents the work of 102 graduating students from the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts, School of Mechanical and Design Engineering and School of Media. The exhibition represents the culmination of years of full-time study and gives our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their imagination, hard work, and creative skills.

Memo

Memo is a food supplement directly aimed at malnourishment in the dementia community. The product allows for the dementia patient, who with the progression of the disease may not want to eat, recognise Memo as a snack. The biscuit is based on biscuits of the 1960s, which can be recognisable to dementia patients of today who were in their prime at that time. This product is not changing the eating habits of the dementia patient, however changing the products in which they use and seamlessly implement it into their lifestyle. The nutrients being Protein, Vitamin B12, and Iron which is directly catered for the dementia patient’s needs. As the product is finger food, the product can be picked up by the dementia patients’ hand and can be eaten at their own pace. The texture is made to provoke the senses, and the taste is changing with each biscuit
