Digital Tactility

How do you translate the tactility and flexibility of textiles into a virtual image? Michaela Armani experiments with light, monochrome and colour images, digital and analogue and everything in between. She investigates the human-computer-coding relationship. This research creates a language that connects the digital with the haptic in a game of chance and control. Through this, Michaela challenges our sense of reality whereby the virtual increasingly intervenes in our everyday lives. New perspectives on our relationship with the environments in which we move arise from the immaterial. Additionally, this research also questions our need for a physical relationship with matter. The virtual image reflects the real image - as if it cannot be filtered out.
