SENSESCAPES: Touch & Vision

Making Sense Lab: 14. 2. 2022, 18.30 – 20.30
,,Jestliže se rozhoduješ, čemu dát přednost, zda pohledu oka nebo zážitku těla, dej vždy přednost tělu, protože hmat je starší smysl než zrak a jeho zkušenost je fundamentálnější. Navíc oko je v současné audiovizuální civilizaci značně unavené a „zkažené“. Zkušenost těla je autentičtější, nezatížená dosud estetizací.” (Jan Švankmajer, Desatero)
The next MSL will explore the relationship between vision and touch, through a series of creative exercises involving sense of touch, as well as is translation into drawing and gestural sculpture.
The next lab session promises to help you to unleash your creativity by becoming free from the habitual way of perceiving the everyday and tapping into the hidden resources of the subconscious. It will be the perfect anti-dote to our “screen life” and the pandemic (which further stigmatises touch). In the absence of sight, touch transforms the everyday into an adventure for the imagination.
Note: Bring comfortable clothes. You will be expected to wear a blindfold for some of the time – this will be provided.
