Video Talk on Somatic Ghosting for ELO 2020 * (asynchronous presentation) http://www.alansondheim.org/armandhand.png https://youtu.be/b8TRiZBmOjI VIDEO (35 minutes) The talk is improvised, recorded in Snagit, assembled in Adobe Premiere. It includes materials from a number of videos and stills. It's a summary of the work I've been doing for the past decade and a half, the unproduction of the body or bodies in a variety of technological and haptic circumstances. There's some theory and some history and referencing in the video and of course as is my wont; I apologize ahead of time for any errors. The piece was recorded in 13 sections, one after the other, which were then assembled in the order of recording. This is a theme which pervades all of my work, the problematic of the body in relation to the digital and technologies in general, including analog. It's an attempt to collapse the production of the digital body back into the analog, and to emphasize the body in relation to biomes and microbiomes; disease and death; refugee, racist and contested environments; ecstasy, sexuality, and abjections; bacterial, viral, and other forms of disease; and depression, anxiety, defocusing, meditation, and turmoil as well. I do hope this is of interest to conference goers and others who may come across it. Thank you. http://www.alansondheim.org/armandhand.png *Virtual Electronic Literature Organization Conference, July 2020 +++ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
