inTouch / Scott Brave, Andrew Dahley, Victor Su and Hiroshi Ishii, 1998 (Tangible Media Group, MIT Media Lab)
This project is part of the Ars Electronica Garden Cambridge.
inTouch (TMG 1998) physically embodies the concept of ghostly presence by making users aware of the other person’s existence through the sense of touch without representing the person through pixels (absence of body). By seeing and feeling a physical object moving on its own, we imagine a person’s physical presence even though they are physically absent. Absence is a new form of presence.
