It inspires groundbreaking experimentation in art and design by focusing on mixing and manipulating the senses. The manifesto treats the human sensorium as a dynamic whole and highlights the sociality of sensation, the cultural mediation of sense experience, and the agency, interactivity, creativity, and wisdom of the senses as shaped by culture. It calls for a radical reorientation of research in the human sciences and artistic practice.

The remarkable insight that the senses are not inherently given but rather are actively made has recently emerged, revolutionizing research across social sciences and humanities. This groundbreaking revelation is fueling innovative experimentation in the realm of art and design, where the focus is shifting towards blending and manipulating the senses. The Sensory Studies Manifesto meticulously tracks these transformative developments and provides a wealth of avenues for exploration into the diverse ways in which human beings perceive and interpret the world. This unique volume treats the human sensorium as a dynamic and interconnected system, best approached from historical, anthropological, geographic, and sociological perspectives. By adopting this holistic approach, the manifesto has profoundly altered our understanding of sense perception by highlighting the social nature of sensation and the cultural mediation of sense experience and expression.
David Howes, in his seminal work, challenges the prevailing assumptions of mainstream Western psychology by emphasizing the agency, interactivity, creativity, and wisdom of the senses as shaped by culture. The Sensory Studies Manifesto serves as a catalyst for a radical reorientation of research in the human sciences and artistic practice, urging us to embrace a more holistic and culturally sensitive perspective on the senses.
