// Listen with headphones for best experience // Immerse yourself in the digital realm with Curator Natalie Kane as she handles an incredibly satisfying and soothing sculpture – a smooth glass pillow, complete with a fuzzy flock ball nestled perfectly on top. Designed by artist Lucy Hardcastle, the hyperreal sculpture is accompanied by computer-generated data made using Cinema 4D software, and a set of photographs, making it appear almost too good to be true... Join Natalie as she tells us about 'born digital' objects (things that originate digitally, rather than physically), whilst exploring ideas of digital comfort and sensory satisfaction.
