Touch (Tʌtʃ): An Inquiry Into The Tactile Sense
Abstract or Summary of Project
This project presents an inquiry and exploration of the tactile sense that has been gradually losing significance in our everyday life. It investigates three aspects of touch;
Fading Touch / the deterioration of the senses,
Physical Touch / how touch is perceived, and
Accepted Touch / the limitations of touch in social and cultural norms.
In recognition that:
Tactility is not blind immediacy – not merely sensorial but cognitive, too.
The intention is for users to rediscover and re-encounter their sense of touch and ultimately, be able to take away a deeper understanding of the role of touch in the world we live in today.
