Res Nodus - which critiques Cartesian dualist philosophy that separates body-matter, Res Extensa, from mind-consciousness, Res Cogitans - invites a moment of reflection on how technological integrations alter somatic experience and cultivate body-culture.
About
middleton’s interest in exploring the sensory-body - at the threshold between indigenous perspectives, western science, and surveillance capitalism - stems from her desire to better understand how tech apps amalgamate biological surveillance technologies and cultures of the mind to foster physical and spiritual wellbeing.
The participatory exhibition invites the public to explore the implications of technologically mediated somatic practice. Through electrophysiological interfacing (i.e. EEG sensors) visitors will be offered an experience of their brainwave data, networked through an audio-visual, scientifically calculated, experience. The immersive installation invites participants to reflect on the social, cultural, economic, and ecological implications of bio-information mined through personal devices. It asks how big data analytics, automation, and AI, are shaping sensory experience and relationality through a capitalist market of somatic sensors.
