Touch is crucial for human bodies; for development, social bonds and emotional well-being. Lost in hyperconnectivity, the tactile body is forgotten and loneliness poses a real threat to human health, especially in elderly. In the Faroe Islands in 2100, sensory experiences investigated by an elderly home aim to restore touch while preserving and exploring memories of culture through the body.
