✦ / PERCEPTUAL DOMAIN

Touch

Understanding haptic feedback and embodied experience

HUMAN FRAMING

A living interface with reality.

Touch represents one of the fundamental ways humans interface with and interpret reality. It encompasses biological mechanisms and the phenomenological experience of perception.

We examine touch as part of an integrated perceptual system shaping consciousness, memory, and understanding.
