Abstract
Tactile Potentials is an ongoing practice-based research project, based in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia. This research develops techniques for affectively co-composing with expressive conjunctions of augmented materials (both digital and organic), including: recursive strategies for modulating digital augments; amplifications of bio-electrical data from plants to produce augmented audio; choreographing hand microgestures in tactile and signaletic connections with both augments and plants; and passing augments generated in Unity3D through the Leap Motion interface in a head mounted configuration. The purpose of the Tactile Potentials project is to explore new methods, techniques, and practices for performing with mixed reality environments and technologies. Emerging from this research, are techniques and methods that investigate: the performative potential of augments as a mode of materiality, alongside living plants and human bodies; the Leap Motion gestural controller as a performative interface; the co-composition of emergent soundscapes from the bio- electrical signals of plants and humans; and, the extended senses of embodiment that embroil the performer through apparatuses that physically de-limit the human gaze by shifting vision to the infrared spectrum.
