[ISEA2013] Paper: Patricia Adams – SHIVERING DOMAINS: TECHNOLOGICALLY MEDIATED EMBODIMENT AND ECOLOGIES

Abstract

Keywords: Embodiment, biotechnology, ecology,non-human others, life sciences, corporeality, interaction.

This article examines contemporary developments in the biomedical and ecological sciences and their impact on hybrid art practices in relation to the ‘shivering domains’ of cross disciplinary discourses and biotechnological research. Examples from the author’s projects: Temporal Interval, machina carnis and Urban Swarming are introduced to illustrate the points discussed. Evolving media technologies and historical perspectives are reviewed and located within the framework of an exploration into the permeable membranes of cellular consciousness and the biomedical sciences; which also considers the nature of constructs of corporeality and the ‘self’ in a socio-cultural context.
