Plug-in Senses • Material Manifestation and Performative Motions
MIT 2019, 4.151 Architectural Core 1 | Instructor: Brandon Clifford, Rosalyne Shieh, Hans Tursack | Collaborators: Jola Idowu, Haotian Wu
Plug-in Senses is an exercise of performance design and object making.
It explores how 'curiosity' as an abstract concept could be delivered through material manifestation and performative motions. Instead of constructing a linear narrative in the performance, the project aims to embed stories into objects themselves via materiality and interactive details.
Architecture could simply be an interface. Once human is interacting with any of the built environment, an architectural concept could be communicated.
