A multisensory fabric screen designed to experience light, birth and transformation of space.


Light and Body Matter is a multisensory e-fabric designed as a meditation tool to experience light, birth, and the transformation of space. By framing the sun's imprint on the mind’s eye, it facilitates the birth of space within the body through luminous visuals and harmonious soundscapes, offering a journey through varied spatial environments from domestic to urban landscapes. As daylight fades into dusk, it beckons us to immerse ourselves in the absence of light and into the unconscious state of life, paving the way for renewal and rebirth. Time is therefore tied in a cyclical framework.

unown is a transdisciplinary design practice working at the intersection of architecture, performance art and philosophical inquiries. We craft environments focusing on sociocultural, ecological and multisensory approaches to foster collective empathy and equitable futures. Through our designs, we create metaphysical spaces to inhabit different frameworks of time by transcending the body toward an undivided space embodying limitless possibilities and new ways of being.
