INTERNATIONAL METABODY FORUM 2016 BERLIN
Microsexes and Metabodies / Post-intimacy, alien couplings and emergent tactilities
How to reinvent tactile interface and touch itself creatively, not merely trying to measure or map a given tactile activity but radically reinventing how touch can happen or be experienced. How does this approach to touch challenge intimacy, gender and sex, race and class but also the western tradition of visual rationalisation, and the culture of hypercontrol? How far is reinventing touch crucial for a sustainable culture especially in a moment in which tactility is being captured in predictive big data Networks through billions of sensors that are part of a planetary metabody, a hypercyborg? In an era where according to Mark Zuckerberg privacy doesn’t exist, how to regain the indeterminate as movement not subjected to control, a haptic body of close encounters in the frontier of the legible?

Laboratory of research with Marcello Lussana and Jonathan Reus into applications of the Metabody project in diverse areas and the production, creation and presentation of new versions of the METATOPIA interactive/intra-active, performative/metaformative participatory environments outdoors or indoors.
