Abstract

Recently and from now on, we’ll be hearing the word haptic regularly in consumer multimodal devices. In an era of transition from sight hegemony, the sense of touch is getting a place of visibility. Still, most of us don’t think of the sense of touch as being a primary sense. Possibly it is because we don’t know this sense well enough. This paper introduces a haptic art concept for a touch reactive dynamic surface as an awareness project. It is intended to construct the knowledge of the self through the sense of touch, following the latest technological advances in smart materials that provide physical interactivity for art explorations.

Keywords: art technology sense of touch haptic organic user interfaces smart materials shape shifting materials dynamic surfaces
