Social Media without the Internet

Interesting project from Tuang Studio.

“Social Media without the Internet” is an interactive performance art project, created as an examination of the human sense of touch. The work is created to accompany the research project entitled “Digital Senses,” as a research innovation that examines how a new developing sense –digital sense—is applied to human sense of touch. Social Media without the Internet consists of two mediums: art object and performance. The art object is a tech wearable. Its functions are designed to be operated by hand gestures when people are socializing, i.e. handshaking, hi-fiving, shoulder-tapping, and handholding. The performance is a medium of investigation of the way social media’s interactions can be introduced into the real world. The project encourages people to socialize and invites them to have more intimate interactions with one another.
