Digital practices

new writings of the body

Susan Broadhurst

pp. 9-22

Abstrakt

In digital practices, instrumentation is mutually implicated with the body in an epistemological sense. The body adapts and extends itself through external instruments. To have experience, to get used to an instrument, is to incorporate that instrument into the body. The experience of the corporal schema is not fixed or delimited but extendable to the various tools and technologies which may be embodied. Our bodies are always open to and intertwined with the world. Instruments appropriated by embodied experience become part of that altered body experience in the world. In this way, "the body is our general medium for having a world' (ibid.: 146).
