​

The symposium was delivered in a hybrid style so presenters and delegates could attend from all over the globe and share their work, thoughts and ideas.

 

Symposium Topics:
 

• Bodily Interaction: Movement, Gesture and Touch

• Embodying & Expanding Beyond the Skin: Bodies and Consciousness

• Interfaces: Multimodal, Haptic, Textiles and Sensing

• Human-Machine: Ecologies, Cognition and Collaboration

• Real to Virtual: Immersion and the Metaverse

• Human Responsibility and Design Ethics

• Sustainability: Social, Ethical and Environmental

​​

Running alongside the Symposium in the Stephen Lawrence Gallery and Project Space we presented the Extended Senses Exhibition, showcasing a range of diverse innovative creative works emerging from within this crossover, focussing primarily on our living bodies as the key site of knowledge production. Explorations within immersion, haptic engagement and body interfacing are included, showing key methodologies for our future understanding of the hybrid blending of the virtual and the physical. Artworks included interactive installations, VR and AR experiences, digital video, animation, films and an online performance, together creating innovative interactions of the body with sound, light and image.
