Co-corporeality spans between free ranging speculation and scientific research, and will be explored from three different perspectives:
[1] Development of materials that can sense the environment and interact with a human,
[2] Design of interfaces that allow non-verbal communication to evoke changes and responses within the material,
[3] Production of full-scale proto-architectural installations.

Co-Corporeality is presented at the Media - Knowledge - Education 2021 - International Conference at the Leopold-Franzens-University Innsbruck (September 21-22, 2021). The conference aims at interweaving descriptions of ecological crises and their effects with critical perspectives of analysis, description and action.
The Co-Corporeality sensor tool is an eye tracking system for observing microbial activity. The eye tracking tool will be developed to be used within a real set-up within the final exhibition space to observe and participate in the movements and action of the selected microbial communities of Cyanobacteria, E.Coli and Bacteria Cellulose.
As part of the Angewandte Festival the team exhibited a collection of objects and installations from the unfinished project.
