TOCA featuring the city

“TOCA, featuring the city” is an exercise of emotional data visualization where shared memories are expressed through a touch-sensitive garment.

The project is an exercise of emotional data visualization where shared memories are expressed through a touch-sensitive garment worn by a performance artist. As a method of telling stories of being a woman, through the body’s perspective - the female corporeal experience in our society - a collection of personal stories of sexual harassment serves as “data” remixed. Toca comes from the verb tocar

in Portuguese, which means both to touch, and to play a musical instrument. It features the city because it aims to collect stories from each city that it touches. The garment is designed to trigger sound beats during a contemporary dance performance of these memories. The project is a quest to make these snippets of traumatic experiences visible, and at the same time resignify it into a creation where the woman's body has reclaimed its autonomy over the events. The project was created by Imagination of things - a creative collective that investigates narrative uses of design and technology as a way to imagine new possibilities for our cultural fabric. We invent artifacts, content and experiences for socio-political storytelling, and we use design fictions as a method of cultural commentary. DESIGN: MONIQUE GRIMORD
