Sommario/riassunto |
|
Touch is the first sense to develop in the womb, yet often it is overlooked. This work examines the role of touching and feeling as part of the fabric of everyday, embodied experience. It examines the role of touch across a range of experiences including aesthetics, digital design, visual impairment and touch therapies. |
