Spiral of Self-Enabling Action

What happens when almost nothing in your surroundings makes sense yet? Martin Pleiß enters the abstract virtual art-world of William Latham’s Mutator VR: Vortex – and discovers how people nevertheless orient, act, and find footholds in environments of thin context. Rather than through mental work and method, sense-making here becomes existential and spirals outward: each reach, gesture, and moment of curiosity expands what can be perceived and how we matter. The volume connects Merleau-Ponty, 4E cognition, and immersive art into a gripping picture of how embodied agency turns the unfamiliar into the livable.
