Beskrivning

Over the past decade, new technologies have influenced a vast epistemological shift that has transformed notions of performativity and representation in the arts. Mediation has challenged both spectators’ and performers’ conventions of corporeality, cognition, and perception. Centering on contemporary synaesthetic and multimodal works, Through the Prism of the Senses examines new theory and practice in body-based arts and contemporary performance. Three main chapters present three distinct strands of methodological enquiry, one from each author, creating a work that resonates with artistic and philosophical enquiry. This book is a vital contribution to discussions surrounding research creation and the body in relation to digital media, highlighting the ways in which new technologies confront the sensate, somatic body.

Recensioner i media

'This intensely complex book offers a language that can illuminate the multiplicity of the embodied experiences of the mediated and mediating body. The language simultaneously dissolves and clarifies the psycho-physical boundaries between performer and audience. The complexity is thus transformed into intricacy and amplification.This publication will appeal to practitioner-researchers in the fields of movement and somatic practice, visual arts and performing arts who are grappling with the realities of research creation that is enmeshed in both the body and digital media. Technologists and new media artists may find the precise theoretical application to concrete, body-based and mediated creative works illuminating for their understanding of the parity and fusion of the corporeal and the technological.'
