DESCRIPTION:
The song Touch is about a strong attraction, a connection, a fleeting arousal of fate but an opportunity missed, leaving a yearning aftermath of wonder.

Riakatrina found Public Symphony on Myspace.com. Riakatrina collaborated with Dobs Vye, the singer, finding out his thoughts for a mixed media animation. She then presented a story board based on the lyrics for 'Touch'. She chose 'Touch' because Public Symphony creates an impulsive, hypnotised experience when listening, which called for the same feeling visually. Ria had to draw in the participant watching the video, incorporating elements of Paul Gillard's original fractal animation for 'Touch' within Final Cut.

She wished the public audience to feel a recognisable distinction between the mind and heart being 'blinded by themselves.' Riakatrina was inspired by the public wearing iPod's daily during their London commute. She observed the public, realising they were missing out on key moments of physical communication and questioning. What happens to the public mentally and emotionally after a moment of missed out communication has become nothing more than past tense?
