Accepted Art & Performance
Under the theme of Resurgence and Convergence, the accepted Art & Performance works for TEI '26 embody the cyclical rhythms and interdisciplinary entanglements that define tangible interaction at its 20th anniversary. From kinetic sculptures and biomaterial installations to participatory sonification and more-than-human co-creation, these works draw together threads from craft, ecology, sound, embodiment, and care—converging diverse ways of knowing into experiences that invite sustained, sensory engagement and collective reflection.
