NB! This recording is in Estonian, as it was recorded for local audiences!

The final Artistic Research Café of the academic year, organised by the Estonian Academy of Arts, the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, and the Baltic Film, Media and Arts School of Tallinn University, brought together design, music, technology, and embodied experience to explore how clothing and materials shape the way we experience the world—from sound and movement to smart textiles and affective technology.

Watch this recording if you're interested in:

• how what we wear and what we hear shape our bodies and emotions;
• how historical material practices intersect with contemporary technologies;
• how artistic research emerges at the intersection of design and science;
• or simply enjoy thought-provoking conversations with curious people.

The discussion was moderated by Kristi Kuusk, Senior Researcher at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Her guests were Professor Piret Puppart (Estonian Academy of Arts), Professor Paula Veske-Lepp (Tallinn University of Applied Sciences), and Senior Lecturer and doctoral student Einike Leppik (Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and the Milan Conservatory).

The Artistic Research Café took place at the Estonian Academy of Arts with the support of the Estonian Research Council's Science Communication Programme.
