This article is structured around three art objects I created and presented during the iJADE Conference in 2019. Through the description and manipulation of these tactile objects, which are designed in a way that allows for ease of interaction, we arrive at the concepts of familiarity and strangeness, attraction and repulsion that underpin encounters with the art object, the other and the environment. In this article we will rediscover the sense of touch as our singular access to the environment and a means of perceiving closeness. We will also examine experiments with students in an effort to understand how the art object can be significant through its affective value, and explore the concept of private and public boundaries in search of a suitable atmosphere for intimate encounters. Finally, we will ask how the art object functions as a tool that allows our distinct sensitivities to meet through a shared sensory experience, the answer to which may be found in the notions of ritual and games, in order to come to a definition of the ‘ethics of contact’.

“ Queer”对象：作为共享感官理解工具的艺术实践

本文围绕我在iJADE期间创建和展示的三个艺术品进行了结构设计2019年大会。通过对这些触觉对象的描述和操作，这些触觉对象的设计使交互变得容易，我们得出了熟悉和陌生，吸引和排斥的概念，这些概念支撑了与艺术品，其他物体的相遇和环境。在本文中，我们将重新发现触摸感，因为它是我们对环境的独特访问，也是一种感知亲密性的方法。我们还将研究与学生进行的实验，以试图通过其情感价值来理解艺术品的重要性，并探索私人和公共界限的概念，以寻找适合亲密相遇的氛围。最后，我们将询问艺术品如何作为一种工具，通过共享的感官体验来满足我们独特的敏感性，
