Ways of Making touch and tangibility as a relational means Please tune in to this talk where I am part of a panel with Leandro Erlich, moderated by Rodrigo Quijano, live-streamed via Bienal Sur's website on Friday, 23 Sep 2016, 6pm Buenos Aires time. My part in this panel is the second in my incidental series of Ways of Making talks. The first was delivered last month at RMIT University, Melbourne, and is also available online. Like my previous Ways of Making, this 15-minute talk is not an attempt to engage with theory. I promise to speak of neither Berger's Ways of Seeing, nor Bourriaud's relational aesthetics, nor Bishop's relational antagonism, nor Latour's Actor-Network Theory. Instead, I will go through the recurrence of touch in my body of works: empathic touch, immediate touch, evident touch. I will also describe why touch is as important as breaking the fourth wall is for me. Then, I will clarify this significance further through a reflection on tangibility, contrasting it with tactility. It is likely that at the 15th minute, I will still propose questions, which I hope to revisit in my next talk, whenever that may be.
