Feelers is one of the projects by The Digit Pte. Ltd. It is a research lab of artists and designers focused on the intersections of art and technology. This research takes the form of interdisciplinary artworks, programmes, and education initiatives.
Our projects are invitations to think critically and empathetically about the world we live in; and to build a community engaged in learning and working together. We also extend these invitations inward through resilient and flexible structures that allow employees to continue their independent practices.
Feelers is a bid for another world to come into being. Glimpses of it can be found in the ways we practice sustaining ourselves; in the ways we choose to listen instead of turn away; and in the ways we question existing paradigms of acceleration and extraction.
While art and technology form key fields of research, they continually lead us back to one another. It is with one another that our real work takes place.
