29.01.2025 - 19:00 - 21:30 - Teken or Leave It: Haptic Encounters
Participants are invited to explore hapticity with the artist collective Notes on Hapticity. The workshop will focus on the ‘haptic encounter’, a concept that is central to the collective's collaboration. The haptic encounter refers to experiences of touch and tactility, and can be understood more broadly in relation to experiences that make a deep impression and linger with you — it could be your relationship to a place, person, a moment in your life.
The workshop will begin with an introduction about how hapticity is used by artists, architects and even media to convey ideas, promote, or persuade us. During the second part of the workshop, the participants will create their own collection of haptic encounters using both digital and analogue techniques -- sensing, observing and engaging with the surroundings in a different way.
Participants are asked to bring with them a mobile phone with camera or a digital camera. Drawing materials and paper will be provided, but feel free to bring your own materials.
