Touch Response Assignment

Image
The Oasis My inspiration for this piece of work is my own world and minds. A lot of the times i get in my spacesuit only to enter into another universe. I find myself escaping reality very often into places only my mind can take me so that I dont have to worry about reality.    "Our Skin is a kind of spacesuit in which we maneuver through an atmosphere of harsh gases, cosmic rays, radiation from the sun, and obstacles of all sorts." A Natural History of the Senses , Diane Ackerman, p. 101 Mindless  When creating this piece I started to wonder that if you go long enough without touching things if your brain would forget how things actually feel. Or if you touch something for the first time in a while will the sensation be so intense that it could be perceived  or felt different than before. “In University of Illinois primate experiments, researchers found that a lack of touch produced brain damage.” (p. 76)
