During the Winter Residency at Pervasive Media Studio I am exploring how we might reimagine current communication systems through art and technology with a focus on whole-body, multi-sensory experiences.
Through researching and prototyping I will be investigating what playful, future interfaces of communication could look like and how they might shift away from screens to more tactile, present or shared experiences. Alongside this, I am interested in how and where people will engage with these new systems of connection and what inviting, accessible and playful spaces for these interactions look like.
