Touch/frame, touch/install: haptic interfaces for an ‘amplified’ viewer?

Abstract

The latest mobile screens (tablets, hybrid terminals, smartphones) usually present as haptic interfaces create an unprecedented relationship between a viewer who has become a ‘user’ and an audiovisual object that is now manipulable. By using the ‘user experience’ as an essential feature of the aesthetic experience, these digital media clearly draw a new pattern of representation and reception: an aesthetic, or to be fairer, a relational and pervasive aesthetic where the viewer becomes the ‘vector of filmic writing’. On the basis of two recent examples, we propose to examine here the aesthetic and narrative challenges of these new audiovisual forms that are emerging from the audience’s reach. The hand then looks like an almost “immediate” extension — in the literal sense: no intermediary, without mediation — of the interface surface of the touch screen.
