Soft Body

• The bowels of the piece are soft with encapsulated electronics that are enclosed by a silicon skin. When pressing hands onto it the hands sink into the body. From deep within there is a respond to the pressure of the hands, slow gentle vibrations of the inner building up interaction patterns that define the tangibility. In the Soft Body the electronics are hidden and not clearly located. This fact together with the sense of a highly responsive and fluid material brings the Soft Body far away from what we are used to encounter within architecture of today. The piece materializes questions on what it is to experience highly tactile architecture with material and interaction inner substance and corporal connotation.  

• Exhibited at Färgfabriken - center for comtemporary art & architectures, Stockholm, 5-16 November 2019 as part of the exhibition 'Unpredictable flesh - novel digital crafting, material research and encounters in interactive architecture'. Curator Anna Maria Orrú. Project leader Malgorzata A. Zboinska.
