Kia Höök - Soma Design – Intertwining Aesthetics, Ethics and Movement

What is Soma design you might ask? Well, it draws upon the theories of Richard Shustermanon somaesthetics, joining the two words “soma” and “aesthetics”, where soma is our “living, purposive, sentient, perceptive body or bodily subjectivity” and aesthetics is the process of training your sensory appreciation abilities, allowing for “an awakening from the mindless, joyless behaviours” of everyday life. The seminar includes a fun, collective bodily exercise as an introduction to the Soma design concept. Höök then explores how humans – with feelings, impressions and expressions – can interact with others and with physical materials and technology – and designing products from that.
