Sonia Cillari: My concern is with the user realizing that the boundaries of self
extend beyond their skin. The idea of what skin consciousness is, how presence,
proximity and touch can re-direct the way we understand ourselves and regulate our
relations with the others is specifically what I am
interested in to reveal. (...) The moment of sharing and contact, where the
interaction occurs through our senses, is what the interface is about.
Si mi sei vicino...(If you are close to me...) is an investigation project
(Electric Field Sensing responsive environment) exploring the topic Body as
Interface. The space is designed to provide the participants with an intuitive
interface, which facilitates full body interaction. Sound and images
are constantly interfered from the presence and the movement of other bodies on the
interface.
