By Design is a performance-centred art experience where graphic design, media art and performance meet in playful collaboration. Conceived and directed by CAKE, graphic design artists Vanessa Ban and Amber Vittoria, and media artist Zach Lieberman are invited to create new pieces in collaboration with live performers.
