Some notes on a research program in New Media,
Sensory Studies and Techno-scientific art

Interface Cultures lädt zum Gastvortrag von Chris Salter im Rahmen der Interface Lectures Series.

How is the contemporary sensorium expanded by new technology? What is the “sensory turn” in relationship to art, design and the humanities and social sciences? This talk explores the role of the senses within our contemporary technosphere, highlighting artistic and research-creation projects that merge haptic, visual, acoustic and other phenomena in collaboration with anthropologists, cultural historians of the senses, engineers and artists.
