HAPTICS

HAPTICS invites us to sense before we think—through reduced images and quiet light, it evokes a shared sensibility. Turning everyday fragments into a space of embodied sensation, it reawakens the subtle threads that hold us together in the world.

Sensations as Shared Ground

HAPTICS explores how minimal images can awaken our senses and evoke “already-known” feelings. It reflects on how sensation may bridge the space between the personal and the shared — where private emotions begin to echo as mutual understanding. Inspired by Kant’s notion of sensus communis, the shared sensibility that underlies collective judgment, the project traces how feeling itself can open a space of connection in a rapidly evolving world shaped by artificial intelligence — a society that redefines what it means to be human.

Merged Spaces Between Selves

While emotions emerge within each of us, their resonance across others reveals an intersubjective field that quietly binds us together. By reducing images to their bare essence, HAPTICS invites a slower way of seeing — one that restores our capacity to feel, reflect, and relate within an increasingly fragmented world.

As a social designer, I see this work as shaping connection through the subtle architecture of perception and memory.
