Art Exhibition: Haptics in Art

(Exhibition Day: 10:00~18:00, 15 April ~ 17 April, 2013)

The Art Exhibition aims to attract interactive artworks exploring unusual ways of thinking about the sense of touch. Artworks can range from physical interactive installations, sculptures, wearable haptic devices, tangible or haptic product and services, or even live performances that put emphasis on the sense of touch or novel ways to relate with it. 3. Nine brilliant artists from the world will present a vision of art, beauty through haptic technology. This is the first time we will be given a direct opportunity to understand the inspiration and thought process of artists.

Instruction for Artists

• Main Artist - Mr. Joong Han Lee (Studio Homunculus, the Netherlands) • Title: [A1] Haptic Intelligentsia

	• Description
		HAPTIC INTELLIGENTSIA is a human 3D printing machine that allows the user to tactually perceive the virtual object and to directly transform it into the physical. The user can freely move the extruding gun, which is attached to a haptic interface. When the tip of the gun is moved into a surface region of the virtual object, the interface generates forces under computer control, allowing the user to feel and touch the surface of the object. Without looking at the computer screen, the only way to visualize the virtual object is to pull the trigger and extrude the material along the feedback surface.
	The results are always unique and different, depending on how each user responds to the machine’s guidance. The sense of touch is no longer present in our current screen-based interface. HAPTIC INTELLIGENTSIA humanizes the 3D printing process, bringing the user a tactile relationship to the virtual object.
