In the workshops, participants are asked to make a pair, massage their partners face. After that they are asked to make a score about their way of touching and massaging, exchange the score -they call it the tactile-score- each other and do massage again according their partners tactile score. My presentation has two aims. The first is to make clear why this project can be an object of aesthetics. Generally speaking, emergence of a new aesthetic consciousness presupposes a new insight into a relationship between nature, scientific thought, and ethical values. From this point of view, the concept of harness is quite important. Because the word harness -it ordinary means control of natural force in order to exploit the force- completely changes its meaning in this project. It comes from a new attitude of natural scientists who try to take lessons from nature on the way how to dynamically sustain diversity of the natural world through interactions, for example, symbiotic interaction between harmful insects / vegetables / natural enemies. I try to explain the emergence of a new aesthetic consciousness in the project. The other is to concretely analyze tactile scores and an educational video clip for the haptica project. In these scores and the video clip we can find so many movements of art form - painting, sculpting, brushstroking, conducting, performing and so on - are combined. In a sense it might be called a new form of art. I also try to explain about it. ! / 0 6 7 8 B C L a m { O P J K Ƿuujaja h OJ QJ o(ho h OJ QJ hK h KH OJ QJ _H h h KH OJ QJ _H o(h h KH OJ QJ _H 'hK h KH OJ QJ _H mHo(sHh KH OJ QJ _H mHsH hto h KH OJ QJ _H h 0w h KH OJ QJ _H o(h KH OJ QJ _H h KH OJ QJ _H o( " ! 0 B C , J s gd % $ &
