Snipets of nature-facilitated sensory augmentaition
Nature facilitated sensory augmentation is a series of small explorations and devices. These devices aim to connect the user/performer with nature as well as the way in which they percieve the world.Experimentative in nature they serve as a means to visualise sertain relationships of the body with space though natural structures,
Different plant tissues are fused with the body to create vicariously to the user the sense of sensation.
ongoing work
sight blindness and the mind
The mind is responsible for prosesing the complex and neural synapsies that our sensory organs constantly send. It is a vital part of the perseptile experience.
The mind can enable or disable our capacity to percieve and understand our surroundings.
visualising
internal machinations
our bodies have internal flows that comute a large variety of vital and waste products.
much like the intestine absorbs nutrients into the bloodstream so does this intend to injest the orchid flowers.
augmenting
emotional expresions
the plants have been placed in such a manner that they corespond to two facial muscels each.
during the contraction of these muscels the plats also shift amplyfing the original motion,
the primary muscels chosen are located around the mouth and often signal the expression of joy.
Hands
The hands and fingers are some of the most sensory dense apendages of the body. Therfore a significant amount of iterations and variationd of finger extensions have been created.
each iteration allows for a different sensory experience as dictated by the physical and visual properties of each plant part.
either it be sensing wind, extending fractaly into space, exploring the softnes of pad like apendages
no nature around me just nature as body, imagining a symbiosis.
potentially defensive
this sleave intend to amplify motion.
the specific sleve also produces sounds as byproduct.
wiskers
Like wiskers these eucalyptus leaves are intended to be antenas extending several centimeters the reach of any movement of the jaw. It visually amplifies the motion while also alowing the wearer to feel the added resistance the wiskers provide.
extending the motion of the btreath
teathering the breathing. Connecting the nose to the diaphragm, a sort of visual bypass to help with deap breathing meditation.
extending the motion of the btreath
inspired by a motion capture markers, the pearls and buds extensuate the movements of the faces muscels.
they act as focal point to the for the eye thus
emphasizing motion.
