"Haptic poetry, like visual poetry and sound poetry, is a liminal art form combining characteristics of typography and sculpture to create objects not only to be seen, but to be touched and manipulated. Indeed, in haptic poetry, the sense of touch (and, to a lesser extent, the other senses) is equal to, if not more important than, the sense of sight, yet both text-based poetry and haptic poetry have the same goals: to create an aesthetic effect in the minds of the intended audience."Thank you, Wikipedia. To what I hope will be the delight of my girlfriends at HID, this week's posts are dedicated to the haptic arts--or simply, hands. [Wait till you see what I have for Thursday, sistahs...]
Here is Alan Rickman in a scene from 'Sense and Sensibility'. Studying this scene intensely, I'd never wanted to be a door so much in my life. Or Kate Winslet, but that goes without saying.
