What if we could feel on our bodies the presence of others at a distance? Haptic Field is a participatory multi-sensory installation merging wearable technology, contemporary fashion, and an exploration of the senses beyond sight. Employing garments designed and produced by the Chinese international label JNBY, Haptic Field creates a singular and uncanny physical experience, giving the impression that our senses our stretched beyond the body’s boundaries.

With one’s ability to visually navigate and make sense of the world removed upon entering the installation, the entire (CAC) space is transformed into a continually shifting, hallucinatory, dream-like environment where nothing is what it seems and where one begins to experience other senses like touch, sound, proprioception, the experience of time and the invisible presence of others—senses that are normally ignored or forgot about in our primarily visual world.
