Experimental Design – Rethinking relations between people, objects and environments
Themes for Designers, Architects & Artists: Examining origins and intent: Before an object, product, place or process was made, a maker conceived it. Before the desire to express existed, an emotion was felt. Before the need for empowerment, a cause was justified and a context established. What is the “before” of meaningful artworks and designs and how can and should we manage and react to these influences? Abstract Submissions: 20 June 2019
Abstract
Title: A ‘Before’ of Spatial Gesture
Contribution to: Themes for Designers, Architects & Artists: Examining origins and intent.
A ‘Before’ of Spatial Gesture is part of a responsive body-space praxis of artistic research that focuses on trans-medial use of movement-forces as drivers in the making. My work explores movement-feeling or kinesthesia as mode of an experience that awakes different senses and frames the way we see and imagine - and aware that such movement-forces easily stay un-reflected in the process.
The conference asks: What is the ‘before’ of meaningful artworks and designs and how can and should we manage and react to such influences?
A ‘Before’ of Spatial Gesture uses the term Gesture in dialogue with Jean-Francois Lyotard, who describes various elements of aesthetic production and reception as constituting models of ‘gestural exchange’. His understanding coincides with more resent use of gesture-model-concepts, being ‘an exhibition of mediality’. That is, a process of making means visible, operating with gesture, not limited to movement of the body, but including moves constituted by object, camera, light, editing, design - and gestures of participants. With a circle of my teaching/research colleagues, I share the notion of such creative practices as imbued with didactive potentials, including specifications of and experimentation with architectural representation, to possibly break perceptual social-spatial order and open up new spaces.
My works render transitive movement visible, and, as artistic research, communicate reflection on meaning, presentation and appearance. A ‘Before’ of Spatial Gesture differentiates between body-spatial meaning and agency of rhythm. That is between questions about content of inclusion and/or exclusion, for example. And, agencies of rhythm, which isn’t about content, but about feeling of movement in gathering, with kinaesthetic affects and effects creatively transgressing cultural divergence.
Sketching is used for a mixed reality that combine video with viewer-gestured articulations. Volumetric-sketches below outline initial body-spatial ‘phrases’ to catalyse participants into ‘virtual ‘dancers’ with space-intervals, emanating from rhythmic forces - to open sensation about art-of-shared-space.
