Life vest for motion sickness 

You are invited to a 20 min motion sickness recovery session with me, Emilia as a facilitator.

Timeless, low – fi operating technology and touch are at the center of this work. By exploring the comfort and discomfort of the embrace, I wish to fuel important dialogues on the complex realities of human interaction and current forms of touch. Life vest for motion sickness, Pt. 1 replicates the feeling of being cared for.

Audiences temporarily hand their bodies to a part–human, part–machine process that induces the body into a state of relaxation to stabilize the system. Life vest for motion sickness, Pt. 1 is part of the ‘Subjects of intimate Transactions’ project and is a live installation that focuses on tactile surface experiences.

The work emerges from an exchange of non-direct touch between two bodies with the massage device as an interface. The wearables are made from a second-used massage devices and offer themselves as a facilitator and carrier of touch.
