In this show, New York based artist Emilie Gossiaux, and London, UK based artist Seo Hye Lee present various sculptural objects. Through a partnership with VibraFusionLab, these pieces offer conduits into experiencing the senses of sound or vision through tactile translation.

The title of the exhibition, Object Sensations, is partially taken from Sigmund Freud’s famous psychoanalytic theory regarding object relations, in which he explains that human beings are motivated by their need to form relations with others [1]. For the objects found in this exhibition, the artists are creating new tactile forms where all the senses commingle and are re-defined. The objects are both a physical expression and a tangible outcome of an internalized memory or an intangible sound that are gateways for the blind and deaf embodied experience. The goal is that the objects will form generative relations with users who choose to engage with their rich tactile properties.
