My project was conceived via N. Katherine Hayle’s conjecture that, ‘the form of the body may change, and so too our concept of embodiment, but that, as humans, our materiality is the key to our lives’. It is informed by the premise that the body is a fundament of human identity and perception, and seeks to inscript the corpo/reality of the body into the corps of the algorithmic code.
The project proposes that, in order to evolve the digital/material interface, a form of ‘viscous data’ must be realised. That outcome is envisaged to evolve through an investigation of those determining signifiers which exist as virtual conditions, but are critical to material experience (i.e., the relationship of one body to another. The relationship of the body to Other, and the relationship of the body to self). It looks to undertake analysis to examine what spaces those virtual conditions might inhabit within a digital environment. Specifically, the spaces in this investigation are the gaps of potentialities in the flickering signifier. The project investigates the following :
* Are the spaces within the flickering image traversable?
* An exploration and quantification of the affect within these gaps
* Is this a space a site the corpo/real can populate virtually?
The research will draw on the work of contemporary emergent theorists in both scientific and cultural fields (i.e., Brian Massumi and N. Katherine Hayles), as well as work done previously within SIAL (eg., Boo Chapple). It’s important to stress the structure of the work will be framed within an artistic understanding. Therefore, it is envisaged the project will culminate in a series of documented exercises, the findings of which will be inscripted within the artistic substratum.
