The Body and its Data. Mediating Experiences Between Digital Fashion and Haptic Feedback.

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstract

Abstract

Digital fashion is a growing market that has not fully exploited the creative potential of the digital realm and has left aside deeper analysis of the user’s body relying primarily on visual aesthetic experiences. Devices like Teslasuit could be used as an interface to deepen the exploration in these areas. This paper examines the use of Teslasuit as an interface to create and physically experience digital body objects. 
Through a transdisciplinary combination of methods from dance and design, this work documents the resulting findings of the application of such exploration. The body is used as an input to generate unexpected body objects, and Teslasuit haptic feedback helps to experience the digital outcomes physically. This research expands the knowledge on digital embodiment aesthetics, bringing a new critical view in positioning the experienced body in the design of human-computer interactions.
