Haptic Poetry

Information

Haptic poetry combines characteristics of typography and sculpture to create work not only to be seen but to be touched. This group is for anyone who values sense of touch as much as sense of sight.

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on April 3, 2013 at 7:41am: Pedro's cards are always fascinating, as we try to decipher what is really between the plastic layers? He sent this to Afroditi for the EGG exhibit:

and I do think that there maybe egg yoke inside?

As we can't "feel-the-art", or smell it...perhaps it is not "haptic" in that sense, or senses, but because we "see" it...and can imagine what it must smell like, etc...well, it could be haptic poetry!

Comment by Bifidus Jones on April 3, 2013 at 4:12am: What's that orange thing on the bottom left, Erni? a holy haptic cookie?

Great posting, MomKat. I really like the pics!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on April 2, 2013 at 5:20pm: Nice "angels" here!...er, in Hamburg :-)

This was in today's mail:

always strange, and "haptic" from "Mute sound".

It makes me wonder what is inside the plastic lamination???

Though there isn't anything "gooey" or mold-growing this time!

There are a few choco coin wrappings and a tag from tea!

Comment by Bifidus Jones on April 2, 2013 at 2:40pm: far-out, erni bear. far-out!

Comment by Bifidus Jones on April 1, 2013 at 4:22pm: it almost looks like an abstract angel with wings--great texture!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on March 28, 2013 at 3:07pm: Received a very nice HAPTIC card from Marcela in Argentina.

Very, very thick paint and wonderful paint aroma! Thank you Marcela! xxx

Comment by Bifidus Jones on March 22, 2013 at 3:13pm: That video is wonderful! A new kind of visual hapticness, perhaps.

Comment by Bifidus Jones on March 11, 2013 at 9:03pm: The Power of the dharmadada

Erni sent a picture frame --haptic heartfelt happiness doing double-duty, I'd say. Danke, Herr Erni Herr Erni!
