Statement

The theme of the exhibition is indicated by «Sensory design through the senses"Without a doubt, we live in a highly developed, digitalized era. This, for better or for worse, depending on one's perspective—but all perspectives are valid—is helping to invent new ways of perceiving reality and to experience new sensations. I believe that our senses and design are yet to develop even further together. What truly excites me about all this is that sensory design has countless applications, from living room lighting that stimulates your mood to air cabins that simulate gravity in space."

From a young age, I've felt an enormous curiosity about how and what things are made of. Likewise, depending on the form or function of objects/products, they can change lives or even generations. New ideas for experimenting with the senses are constantly being created and developed, which is why this exhibition aims to show how our senses are affected, both consciously and unconsciously, in every aspect of our lives.

Sign at the entrance to the exhibition:

"Experience is a necessary condition for knowledge, and the nature of experience depends on the qualities to which it refers; therefore, the quality of experience will depend on what our senses have access to and how we are able to use them.«. – Eisner

Text for the View Room

Firstly, the senses that are most important when it comes to stimulation are sight, hearing and touch, and sensitivity, both superficial and deep (Velasco & Muñoz, 2003In this room, you can stimulate your sense of sight with the help of tools such as reflectors, varying lighting and colored lights, mirrors that recreate sensations of the outside world, or virtual reality glasses with which you will experience a new perception of the world.

Text for the Ear Room

Absolute silence doesn't exist. Why? Because even if we were alone in the quietest place on Earth, we would still hear our nervous system through the impulses of our heartbeat or the sounds of our joints. Furthermore, we can create melodies with our body parts based on our movements. Likewise, there are truly fascinating instruments that offer extraordinary sonic experiences.

Text for the Touch Room

When things come into contact with an individual, they become part of their experience, connecting them to a space and time. Sometimes, objects move and stir us, helping individuals to situate themselves both outside and within themselves. An object is the potential for an experience, and therefore, designed objects also possess this purpose. A series of multisensory objects is proposed, offering alternative experiences and sensations through touch and movement. Blindfolds will be available in some sections to enhance the experience.

Text for the Taste Room

The aestheticization of food and drink is growing, especially in a hyper-consumerist and modern society. Likewise, aesthetics are paramount when it comes to innovation in the culinary arts and the search for new creations. Consequently, the environmental and sensory experience in appropriate spaces cannot be overlooked. We will show how it is possible to experience food tasting in a new way.

Text for the Smell Room

Finally, our sense of smell awakens sensations and emotions in people, such as relaxation, stress, and well-being, but we rarely use it to create new experiences and applications. Aromas can transport us to places and horizons we couldn't imagine if we weren't there. Blindfolds will be available to enhance the experience.
