Crossmodal interaction, enactive emergence of affective experience, kinetic resonance, and the intersection of sound and touch. Exploring how media can engage our affective senses through practice-based research.
Our research is organized around four pillars, explored through artistic practice
Expanding and transforming experience through sensory interactions. We explore what new affective experiences emerge when different sensory modalities intersect.
Exploration and emergence of sensory delight through action. We design spaces where the experiencer's active engagement triggers unexpected affective experiences.
Constructing fields where information and physical objects co-constitute through movement. Digital information manifests as physical motion, and vice versa.
Exploring the significance of touch in sound art. We investigate how tactile submodalities — thermal, kinesthetic, and more — transform the acoustic experience.
The creative process itself serves as a research method — through iterative cycles of conception, design, implementation, and experiential evaluation, we generate insights that theoretical inquiry alone cannot reach.
Research projects
ENACTIVE
An interactive art piece based on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's "The Nose." When standing before a monitor, an AI-generated nose is overlaid on the viewer's own, growing larger in response to smiling — physically conveying the story's essence through embodied experience.
MULTIMODAL
A sound installation combining elastic materials and vibrotactile feedback. The work aims to evoke a sense of vitality through soft materials and an immersive underwater-like experience via multisensory integration.

HAPSONIC
A fluid-mediated music interface incorporating warm/cold sensory feedback, creating an experience where thermal sensation and sound are coupled in real time.
MULTIMODAL
A multimodal heartbeat presentation device that conveys a sense of another person's presence and mental state. Presents heartbeats through multiple sensory channels — sound, vibration, and light.
