Why Materiality and Friction Matter in the Age of AI
Summary
As digital tools become more accessible, visual perfection is no longer enough to capture attention.
This research explores how materiality, resistance, and friction contribute to a stronger sense of presence in digital environments.
By looking at VR and installation works, I examine how the body shifts from an active participant to a passive observer, and how this affects perception.
This thinking directly informs how I approach my 3D work.
