Case Study 01 :
A Friendly Hand
In a world where technology mediates almost every aspect of our lives, how do we reconnect with the living, breathing environment around us? Dreaming of an Interspecies Sensor explores the potential of everyday technologies and sensors as poetic mediators between humans and nature.
By staging speculative interactions, this project reimagines how technology can foster intimacy with the non-human world. Can sensing devices help us notice the unnoticed? This project invites you to step beyond the screen and into a space where machines help us listen, touch, and engage with nature in unexpected ways.
