Perceptual Interjections

Our navigations through our cities possess the power to generate distinct emotions and intricate neural patterns. These emotional responses vary based on an individual’s perception, interaction, and frequency of moving through a space. Perceptual Interjections explores haptic conditions that generate positive physical responses within public space. A collection of both material applications and formal additions interact with different senses and parts of the body through haptic qualities such as material texture. These haptic interjections both break the familiarity of a space and change over time based on public use and touch, encouraging new mental impressions and tangible interactions in a sensory-rich collective space. Understanding the influence of perception is certain to pave the way for the creation of happier, more considerate public environments.
