Dolby Artist Series

The Dolby Art Series is a collaboration with 22 international artists and studios from London, Thailand, Poland, Japan and the Americas that were given a simple design concept, taking cues from the iconic Double D logo to make their own statement and interpretation. The artworks are hung in offices world-wide. In collaboration with Mucho.

Dolby exists at the intersection of science and art, pursuing the science of sight and sound to create exceptional sensory experiences. It was natural for a company that enables artistry through technology to engage with creators to deliver that exceptional sensory experience through their art.

The Amsterdam-based design collective Experimental Jetset created a diptych which revolved around the transformation from a material object to abstract information and then back to material object. The up-and-coming New York-based agency Gretel created a piece that incorporates elements of visual graphs used by sound designers. Working primarily in CGI, multidisciplinary artist and illustrator David McLeod contributed three visually distinct yet interconnected works that are a physical representation of synthesizer waveforms. Sara Andreasson took a more playful illustrative approach featuring the intimate whispers between people.

The Dolby Art Series is a groundbreaking collaboration involving 22 international artists and studios hailing from London, Thailand, Poland, Japan, and the Americas. These creative minds were tasked with a seemingly simple design concept, drawing inspiration from the iconic Double D logo, but were encouraged to infuse their own unique perspectives and statements. Their resulting artworks now adorn offices across the globe, and this initiative was made possible through the partnership with Mucho.

Dolby's identity lies at the crossroads of science and art, as it delves into the realm of sensory experiences by exploring the science of sight and sound. Given its intrinsic connection to technology-enabled creativity, it was only natural for Dolby to collaborate with artists to amplify these exceptional sensory encounters through their craft.

For instance, the Amsterdam-based design collective Experimental Jetset crafted a thought-provoking diptych that revolves around the journey from a tangible object to abstract information and back to its material form. Meanwhile, the up-and-coming New York-based agency Gretel presented a piece that skillfully incorporates elements reminiscent of the visual graphs utilized by sound designers. David McLeod, a multidisciplinary artist and illustrator primarily working in CGI, contributed three visually distinct yet interconnected pieces that serve as a tangible representation of synthesizer waveforms. Notably, Sara Andreasson took a whimsically illustrative approach, capturing the intimate exchanges and connections between individuals.
