Tactile room

 

 

This is how we called the experiment number 7. The aim of this experiment was to explore your sense of touch and sense of adventure. This installation takes the participant on an interactive excursion through dark room augmented with sensors and tactile materials. We gave participants the freedom to choose how they want to adapt to the environment. Crawl, slide and bump your way through (as we called) the "maze" using your sense of touch as your only guide through its chambers and mazes.  We wanted to explore how our cognitions can be affected by the space. How we change the way we walk and behave when we are relating it familiar sounds. Is there a space in this room that I would like to be more? 

 

 

 

Notes from the show and tell:

 

How with the different materials and tactility we invite people to interact. How we generate awareness though interaction
that our cognition is already embedded in the space.

- We are introducing the concept of sound being a self generating grammar that demands the participant to have a different spacial positions.

- Don’t show the mechanism.
- Movement of the web?
- How to make the person feel more immersed?
- Everything in the space should be more connected. I have to find my way through the space. Not only my feet
affecting the space but my hole body. What are the points of connection? What is the trace I receive?

- There is a learning curve when I experience the space? Is the eyes always looking down because it is slippery?

- How feet and mind are disconnected. Mind and body?
