Abstract

This paper presents the concept and instances of implementation of a documentary embodied art installation named 'The Cloakroom'. The Cloakroom is an interactive aesthetic experience which is made out of multiple interpersonal relationship stories and their connection to objects. People are invited to embody a relationship by literally donning a jacket and going through the motions of finding things in its pockets. The objects they find are then used as triggers to play pre-recorded stories, bringing analog artifacts to meet the digital content. The use of pockets highlights the physical intersection between tangibles and wearables.
