OTOPE begins by donning headphones, a blindfold and a 'sound skin' through which you can 'hear' the texture of objects around you by touching and placing them on your new skin. 14 unique textures have been prepared. Different combinations - slick + rubbery + rough, for example - creates a unique track representing those textures. So you are mixing with textures and your body is the patchboard.

About K-, the group of creatives that made OTOPE

K- was founded to create sensorial experiences which focus on our senses - except for our sense of sight. Entertainment, whether through games or TV, is mostly a visual endevour. Entertainment as an industry plays a huge role in shaping the cultural foundation on which we base our everyday lives and conversations. As these experiences become more detached between the physical and virtual we risk alientating groups who are unable to participate. K- is a group of creatives in Tokyo weaving non-visual experiences to provide a common cultural thread for all to join.
