In this research, complex haptic interactions with feathers are sonifed in acoustic soundscapes.The wearers of Haute Couture dresses made of feathers of Stymphalian Birds experience the societal impacts of sensing beyond the human body with feathers.Stymphalian Birds human-eating pets of Artemis in Greek Mythology are said to have metallic feathers. Using their feathers as arrows, they incarnate a dangerous beauty.
