Culture binds groups of humans together, and as a byproduct, culture produces tangible artifacts that people can experience. Cultural heritage is preserved via these artifacts, creating a historic, distinct identity in which people can group under. The actors within a culture that contribute directly to its preservation, such as craftsmen, historians, and so forth, are the minority within the general population. Since culture is an identity adopted by a general population, extending the experience of directly interacting and forming connections with our culture beyond those who directly contribute to its preservation is imperative. This paper utilizes Indonesian batik textile as an example of such cultural artifacts, as it is a hand-made form of art that only skilled craftsmen can create. Utilizing audiovisual synesthetic sciences and software, it is possible to create novel immersive experiences that allow viewers to form a new, direct connection with culture. This paper is an exploration of culture utilizing TouchDesigner, experimenting with the connection between audiovisual sensory perception and haptics in the context of Indonesian batik textiles.
