Key words: Interaction, Collective Experience, Breaking Barriers, Anti-Spectacle (Debord), Social Media
Project Definition
A speculative museum intervention designed to challenge the traditional “Do Not Touch” paradigm. Visitors are invited to place their hands on glass domes covering artifacts. Through integrated haptic feedback, they can sense the texture, materiality, and weight qualities of the originals without risking conservation. This tactile layer aims not only to strengthen embodied knowledge, but also to resist the disciplining effect of the surveillance–spectacle nexus (Foucault, Debord), while fostering awareness of embodiment, collective interaction, and our relation to the environment—opening deeper ways to connect with each other and the world.
Academic Framig
1…………How can haptic interfaces transform passive museum viewing into embodied knowledge?
2……….Can multisensory experiences disrupt the cycle of passive spectatorship produced by the “spectacle society” of social media?
3……….What design methods balance conservation safety with multisensory accessibility?

Project Definition
A speculative research proposal exploring how piezoelectric systems and kinetic wearables might generate electricity from everyday human movement. Inspired by kinetic watches and piezoelectric floors, the project asks how collective rituals of movement (walking, dancing, running) can be reframed as acts of sustainability. The aim is not large-scale energy production, but to challenge the spectacle of consumption by shifting focus toward participatory co-production of energy.
How can wearable piezoelectric devices enable individuals to generate and symbolically transfer electricity in daily life ? What are the biggest obstacles to the application and accessibility of piezoelectric devices ?
