How do inhabitants of an interconnected world relate to each other? What does 'Augmented Sense' mean, and how can we develop new 'Sense-abilities'—whether aesthetic, neuropsychological, or social—that are shaped by our connections with potentially everyone else on the planet? This exploration delves into the dynamics of a globally connected society, examining the evolution of human perception and interaction in the context of our digital and physically interconnected realities.
In a collaborative effort with her doctoral classmates, the author visualized sound through animation. While her colleagues composed the music, she crafted animations inspired by their digital compositions, resulting in a mapped projection. This process highlights the intersection of sound and visual art, embodying the synthesis of auditory and visual mediums to explore new dimensions of artistic expression.
The sense of touch, alongside sight and hearing, is one of the fundamental human senses. Inspired by its application in medical practices by ancient civilizations, we embarked on creating gloves that audibilize pain. This innovative approach bridges traditional tactile perception with modern technology, embodying our exploration of sensory experience and its potential for healing and understanding human conditions.
This is a collaborative project where, driven by the desire to showcase our work and ourselves in an unconventional manner, we created a multilayered game. This approach allows each of us to make a unique statement through our contributions, reflecting our collective ambition to transcend traditional presentation methods and explore new dimensions of expression.
In this collaborative project, we engage with the concept of a dictionary, drawing inspiration from a historical milestone. In 1516, Sir Thomas More finished his groundbreaking work, 'Utopia,' a novel written in Latin and published by Erasmus and Leuven. Marking its 500th anniversary in 2016, people, institutions, and organizations worldwide commemorated the book that pioneered the genres of Utopian and Dystopian fiction, depicting ideal societies or perfect cities alongside their antitheses. This project explores the linguistic and conceptual foundations that have shaped visions of utopia and dystopia, inviting a reimagining of these themes through our contemporary lens.
This group project delved into the themes of 'Artwork on the Self and Identity.' We explored the essence of the self and pondered the impact of mediating this complex cultural construct through algorithms and technology. Our investigation focused on how such a transformation influences our public, private, and intimate spaces, reflecting a deep inquiry into the intersections of identity, technology, and the human experience.
