A lot of people saying stuff like sports or pottery. But I have a hard time thinking of those as art forms meant to be experienced through touch. What comes to mind for me is something like the "Tactile Dome" at the Exploratorium in SF--an exhibit for kids where it's dark and you move through it feeling different things with different sensations. I think food is also a good candidate. One thought is that vision and hearing are all 1->many senses. That is, many people can stand around and experience one fireworks show, or one musician, or one painting. We've even invented ways of amplifying the "many" with speakers, projectors, etc. Perhaps this makes these art forms more commercially viable than touch, where a single person experiencing it excludes anyone else from the same experience? Maybe we need to invent a "touch multiplier" before the genre will take off? |
