Who Cares
Touch reveals the boundaries between us but it also connects us, enabling us to transcend our physical limits. Working with dance and thermal imagery to explore our sense of touch, their moving image work generated from heat data reveals new insights into the expanded body, asking questions about the role of care in society. Exhibition …

Tactile Intelligence
Exhibition featuring the work of Design Informatics Artist in Residence Theodore Koterwas.
Come explore the porous boundaries between us and technology as you interact with an invisible AI learning to communicate with you physically.
Through his residency Theodore has been approaching AI from the perspective of the body: exploring what it means for AI when we consider intelligence as a process of the entire body rather than just the brain.
Data as a Material Exhibition
This exhibition features work from the Masters students at the University of Edinburgh’s Design Informatics course.
With two distinct approaches and design briefs – Designing Ecologies and Fashion Informatics – students created a series of responses which either question more than human and under-represented “voices” in data collection or seek to examine ways in which we could adorn our human selves through worn-data interfaces.
