Haptics, sensors, and other new technologies are enabling art where your body becomes the material for the work. When touch becomes the site of the artwork, it can't be photographed or recorded. It exists only in your body. Touch is complex to work with. There is little terminology, few shared references, and no defined frameworks.

This event was part workshop, part exhibition, part laboratory, bringing together artists in Sweden who are defining this field to discuss its challenges and contradictions. And most importantly, to get a feel for what it is.

Technology can unveil dimensions otherwise hidden to us. During a live bodywork session, a camera tracks the points where hand touches body. Each touch is rendered visible as a luminous particle cloud, projected onto screens on the floor. The work questions the position of the viewer and what transactions take place in ritualized contexts of connection. Processes otherwise undetected such as the energetic exchange and the release of tension become visible to the naked eye, illuminating the power of the tactile.

Sphere of Touch is part of the ongoing series Metaphysical Archaeology, which investigates intimacy and the unseen forces that flow between bodies as they traverse both physical and virtual worlds.
