Project- Extreme Places and Extended Senses

  • What does 'extended senses' mean?
  • What is an 'extreme place'?
  • How can extreme environments extend our senses and stoke our creativity?

This project explores ways of extending senses to make new meanings and perceptions of our environment. In practice, this would entail using technological tools such as sensors and handmade scientific equipment to alter and broaden our perception of the world. We will borrow from D.I.Y /D.I.W.O (Do it with others) practitioners and build our own tools for extending our senses. We will look at artistic approaches to field trips, extreme spaces and altering perceptions. One of the practical outcomes of this project will be collaboration with educators to implement our explorations in the educational context (for eg: toolkits and labs). In this project we will work with scientists, artists(visual/sound/performance) and educators. This project is ideal for students interested in the arts, film, visual communication, product design. We begin this exploration on the onset itself of the project with a weeklong expedition to our first Extreme Environment - The Andamans Islands (The Andaman and Nicobar Environmental Team).
