TRIAL & ERROR

In this section we share the research behind Soft Connection Lab: from the first hands-on tests of the traditional techniques over the upscaled, insightful experiments to making performances and co-creative workshops and challenges. Doing so, SCL explores a conjunctive design attitude which stimulates a caring connection between humans and their surrounding world.
