Description

Sensorium: Embodied Experience, Technology, and Contemporary Art explores the relationship between the body and electronic technology in the 21st century. This collection features essays, artworks, and an encyclopedic "Abecedarius of the New Sensorium" that examine the implications of the techno-human interface. Contemporary artists and writers investigate embodied technology and the technologized body through a range of experiments and investigations. The book accompanies an exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Center and includes artwork with analytical essays by curators, as well as contributions from scholars, scientists, and writers. A preface sets the stage for this hybrid moment in art, where modernist segmentation of the senses is giving way to dramatic multisensory mixes or transpositions. The book's diverse entries offer a unique perspective on the intersection of technology and human experience, inviting readers to consider the implications of this emerging field.
