Craft + Future = Sensory Experience

Can craft revive lost senses through experiential processes?

In a world where people have lost many of their senses due to the ill effects of technology, people are trying to rediscover the essence of human experience. Trying for a deeper connection with the tangible world, they take on a collective journey towards sensory revival. 
Communities unite to create vibrant spaces where touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell are rekindled, building a cultural renaissance. As they prioritize mindfulness over digital detachment, people experience the richness of genuine human interactions, creating a harmonious existence. 
What if there is a school of senses led by the craft community helping us bring back our lost senses. They do this by engaging in craft process like wood carving, metalworking, pottery, and embroidery. By engaging in these crafts, people could reconnect with and enhance their senses, deeply immersing themselves in the textures, sounds, scents, and visual details of traditional practices tied uniquely to their local environment.
