| description |
Even though experimentation and its material aspect are linked to the practice of design, few texts approach the concept intertwined with a dimension of touch. Considering the uncertain and critical times in which we perceive ourselves as a society, we need practices different from those prevalent in interaction design fields, yet capable of touching other possible worlds. We trust that the act of slowing down enables us to cultivate a distinct sensitivity, hesitating in the construction of a ‘good common world’. This article investigates spaces of hesitation through touch-oriented experimentation and reports on one case of an experimental practice developed from the formation of an embroidery collective. The practice proposes a design performance more engaged with uncertainties, care, and subjectivities.
