Artist Statement
Dreaming a Fingertip Conversation with You _ tactuaL [si:gak] series is about presenting an approach
through the view-point of this generation's visually handicapped, and their perception of the world.

his project was inspired by the issue of finding the meaning of true extension of the human senses
in the area of New Media Art called grafting between the digital technique and art. By utilizing the interactivity
of digital media, this project aims at the experience of the visually disabled to spectators in a new type of communicational method.

By touching the tactile dots of the installation through one's finger tips, spectators can read a sentence that
appears on the computational handling hardware. Those who have never experienced visually handicapped
conditions will communicate with this artwork in a different way. Through this interactive process,
people (generally called the public) can understand the visually handicapped.

Dreaming a Fingertip Conversation with You _ tactuaL [si:gak] series is an art experiment that was created
at the point where the boundaries dividing art from science and design disappear due to technological development.
We tried to make a new communicational method, using a technique called physical computing in the area of design.
It is an attempt to get out of the traditional methods of the visual processing of information.

Co-working between crafts and design, we tried to find the possibility of advancing the qualitative finish of the material surface.
Also we did our best to announce a message for a united society as a pioneering field of culture.
And we hope that it is not only a technical experiment, but also aesthetically engaging.
