WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE

Exploring the importance of touch, WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE takes one audience member at a time through a journey from childhood to adulthood and old age through the medium of a bedtime routine. The artwork combines an immersive VR and spatialised binaural audio-world with a live, intimate one-on-one performance, in which a caring choreography of touch is received from the performer and synchronised with the VR experience. 

WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE is a one-on-one live performance that combines human touch, spatial audio, VR synchronisation and is part of a larger research project exploring the role of XR and human touch in digital mental health therapies. The project has recently been awarded one of the first ever Inclusive Innovation Awards and received a special mention by the Jury at Sheffield DocFest Alternate Realities Competition for the courageous application of its “innovative multidisciplinary approach to challenge audiences in a way that is specific to its form”.
