an exhibition. an holistic approach. approximately one in five people is highly sensitive. they perceive things more intensely. but what does that mean? how does it feel? notitia is an exhibition about an holistic experience and reflection of the perception of highly sensitive individuals and personal perception.
the design incorporates different delicate membranes, symbolizing the various perception filters – some are finer and allow more stimuli to pass through than others. visitors are led through three stages: starting with multimedia information accompanied by those membrane exhibits, then into an immersive experience, and ending in a reflection and discussion area.

animation
the distorted sounds of the audio-reactive animation were recorded in places that trigger intense stimuli in (highly) sensitive people. whether in loud and chaotic places or those that can evoke a strong inner calm.
membranes
to symbolize the uniqueness of each person’s perceptual filters, different membranes were created. these membranes allow varying levels of information and stimuli to pass through — some let more in, while others provide more shielding. this means some people are more sensitive and delicate, while others are more resilient, yet each filter remains entirely unique. the membranes were crafted from materials such as glucose, bioplastic, and leaves, or are generated by ai.
