What it is
MADA Now is Monash Art, Design and Architecture's online collection for its 2025 graduate exhibition. The page introduces a range of work, then offers direct routes to Fine Art, Design and Architecture and a set of featured graduates. The live page layers large yellow exhibition lettering over photography; its initial view can be covered by a reconciliation notice and cookie controls. Individual student pages are separate work samples, with their own text, imagery and external portfolio links.
When to open it
Open it when you need an example of a faculty-led student archive that starts with three clear disciplines and continues into student, course and award indexes.
Most useful
- Browse by faculty: Fine Art, Design and Architecture form the top-level routes.
- Featured graduates: the home page links directly to a changing selection of student pages.
- View all: open full indexes of students, courses and awards.
- Individual project pages: Lucy Corcoran's profile includes FLOJO, a board game about menstruation education, plus related identity and campaign work. Those campaign visuals belong to the student projects, not the yellow-on-photo catalogue design.
Using it with agents
No MCP, API, CLI or agent guide surfaced in the show pages at review; direct /llms.txt requests on the site and its host returned 404. Use the discipline, student and award routes in a browser, then brief the agent with a chosen project page and notes on the catalogue pattern you want to adapt.
Watch out for
- This is the 2025 archive; the exhibition's physical venue information is also part of the page.
- A first-visit acknowledgement overlay and cookie panel can obscure the work until dismissed.
- Monash's copyright terms protect its site content and also recognise that third parties may own included material; treat student work as look-only unless its creator says otherwise.
Reusable ideas
- Start a varied collection with a short list of broad disciplines, then offer complete indexes for visitors who know what they need.
- Connect featured students to related people and to the full student list so discovery continues beyond a single profile.
- Pair an online archive with a campus-location map when the work also belongs to a physical exhibition.
