GOLD (Monstrous Topographies) - Exploring Bodies in Complex Spatiality: Trespassing, Invading, Forging Bodies Dagmar Reinhardt and Lian Loke (original) (raw)

Abstract A complex corporeality, as this paper argues, can be established by revising our understanding of the relationships between our body, and bodies associated, inter-actant, investigative or correspondent to our body. Fastforwarded by advanced computational design and fabrication, and increasingly embedding sensory and interactive technologies, this poses a challenge to the conceptualisation of body, material and space. At the intersection of architecture, human-computer interaction and choreography, we ask: What is the current status, and potential, of body and bodily experience in this relation? We are exploring here Duchamp’s Large Glass, and Grosz’s Theory of Spatial Complexity as conceptual drivers for a sentient environment that off ers relational exchange for a choreographed number of bodies. GOLD (Monstrous Topographies) is a spatial interactive installation set in the context of a performance that combines actors, audiences, kinetic interactive elements and programmed...
