Warm hug

Interaction Concept (IxD2) 2024

Care and control often coexist in systems designed to help us. In a world where wellness technologies promise empowerment and self-discovery, Warm Hug invites you to question what’s truly yours—your body, your choices, or the quiet nudges shaping your behavior. Through an immersive exploration of your own body, this exhibition blurs the boundaries between care and control, reflection and manipulation. Informed by reproductive health, Warm Hug is a companion that listens, nudges, and reflects, offering insights that feel personal while subtly steering you toward predefined paths of wellness. Warm Hug is a critical provocation to the question: When technology enters our most intimate spaces, how do we define the boundaries between guidance, influence, and control?
