NeoTouch / Christine Wuerth (DE)
NeoTouch is a speculative design project that envisions a future haptic communication device
allowing people to touch each other at a distance. The medium of film is used to spark people’s imagination of the device’s design and functionality while simultaneously creating a wider narrative exploring social and ethical effects of synthesized human touch. The critical debate around this technological development focuses on aspects such as consent, digital and physical privacy, and changing social norms.
