Moirai, Thread of Life Multi Sensory Haptic Vest Experience
About the Event:
Haptic sensory vests are some of the latest technologies that allow audiences to experience music and artwork in multi-sensory modes. We have created a sensory score for Moirai, Thread of Life so that audience members of all abilities, and including those who are Deaf or Blind, can feel key aspects of this screen-based film work, through their bodies, in an easy to wear, light vest that has 23 vibrating nodes.
Please note: you will be sent a more precise time for your experience closer to the event.
About the Exhibition:
Experimenta Emergence intertwines the work of contemporary artists who critically examine our changing world to reveal ways humanity might confront and adapt to emerging challenges now and in the near future.
At a time when the unknown and maybe the unknowable is building like a wave, these artists encourage us to question our shifting realities. What are the forces shaping our worlds? How might we encounter, counter or adapt to the transformations of the human and more-than-human world we are part of? Can we alter current trajectories?
The art works these Australian and international artists have created – virtual realities, participatory works, and speculative fictions – will provoke you to ask questions about where we, individually and collectively, are going … and where we might want to go.
