With Clemens Driessen, Assistant Professor, Cultural Geography, Wageningen University and teachers from Jewellery – linking bodies and designLAB
What role can touch and being touched play in multidisciplinary research fields when written and spoken language is a limitation? How can we use physical, haptic, and speculative design objects to connect artistic and scientific research? Based on these questions and related to eleven different scientific PhD-research projects from Wageningen University, Jewellery – linking bodies and designLAB students collaborated and developed portable conversation pieces that trigger curiosity, wonder, touch, sensory communication, dialogue, feedback, and new perspectives on this research.
