Alexandra Borsari et al., « Le sensible comme projet: regards croisés », HAL-SHS : histoire de l'art, ID : 10670/1.hzqq0u
Since the beginning of the 20th century, numerous design practitioners (as people aiming at shaping industrial productions) have claimed or advocated interest for sensory reception, transmission and overall perception. Using insights from design and anthropology, we propose an overview of the history of the ways designers proposed to take into account senses. We then situate it inside the larger context of the material turn, before questioning its ambitions and perspectives using two examples: design for people living with visual impairements and adherence to treatments. If sensory design emerged from industrial concern of proposing universal language and experience, it is more and more concerned with ways to take into account a variety of bodies and sensibilities. Much like anthropology, which is constantly addressing the human species diversity and unity.
