Remote Contact

Remote Contact is a new exhibition that invites you to explore the ideas of how creative uses of technology might enhance feelings of connection and tackle isolation. Co-designed with individuals and their families living with dementia, Remote Contact presents a series of interactive artworks exploring how sensory and generative technologies can enhance connections between families and their relatives in care.

Remote Contact is commissioned by IN-TOUCH: Digital Touch Communication an ERC funded research project at UCL led by Prof Carey Jewitt (UCL). It is supported by FACT and Community Integrated Care, and funded by Arts Council England, and Leeds City Council and with the support of a Wellcome Trust Arts Award and in collaboration with Prof Nadia Berthouze (UCL).
