title = "Saving Face: Playful Design for Social Engagement, in Public Smart City Spaces",
abstract = "Can social engagement and reflection be designed through social touch in today{\textquoteright}s smart city{\textquoteright}s public spaces? This paper explores ludic, playful design for shared engagement and reflection in public spaces through social touch. In two Artistic Social Labs (ASL), internationally presented in public spaces, a radically unfamiliar sensory synthesis is acquired, for which perception of {\textquoteleft}who sees and who is being seen, who touches and who is being touched{\textquoteright} is disrupted. Participants playfully {\textquoteleft}touch themselves and feel being touched, to connect with others on a screen{\textquoteright}. On the basis of the findings in the ASLs, guidelines are proposed for orchestrating social engagement and reflection, through social touch as play.",
