ON/CONTACT is an interactive installation in the form of a haptic column that the interactor squeezes against their body. It is based on an interaction paradigm that puts the concept of encountering above that of controlling. The tactile exploration of the column invites self-expression while eliciting a sense of comfort. Its sonic and vibrotactile landscape becomes an object onto which the interactor can interpret and project their own subjectivity.
