CFP: AIGA special session at CAA 2005 - Whither The Touch?

CFP: Whither The Touch?

The American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) is pleased to share this call
for papers. This call is for the AIGA special session of the CAA annual
conference in Atlanta 2005.

The AIGA is seeking papers that address the question "What is the place of
the sensual in contemporary design processes and education? The sense of
touch is evident in the results of consumer product design and has been
documented by the exhibition catalogs of the first two National Design
Triennials, ³Design Culture Now² and ³Skin². This session seeks to
investigate how the sensual is currently integrated into the areas typically
associated with the process of creation in design, and, in what way is the
sensual evident among the design disciplines in digital internetworked modes
/ environments of creation? Further, is there a role for the sensual in
pedagogy where digital, instrumental training occupies ever larger
proportions of classroom time? Your responses are sought across the spectrum
of design disciplines, and are sought of practitioners, educators,
theoreticians and critics.
