SF MOMA retrospective of Francesca Woodman [back in January], who as a young photographer, was extremely prolific, and introspective. At first for an artist such as myself is an exhilarating insight into process, exposition of guts, and desperation. Then walking through Room after room dedicated to her image it quickly becomes suffocating.. It is horrifying and perfect – she is immortalized in her youth. She successfully dodged the humiliation of growing older with wrinkles and feelings of decay encroaching. I’m wildly jealous, but carry a sense of superiority with my choice, endurance, and pure luck of survival.

A short video:

A premise, a dream of a disembodied look at loss – from footage of eyes and the road which were the last moments before a car wreck that left me with one eye and a new perspective.

SENSOREE GER Play-formance is a vignette of games which inspire the participants to use their bodies as the joystick. With SENSOREEs GER – Galvanic Extimacy Responder – Mood Sensor designs, players learn to control their calm and excited states, communicate their moods through reflective feedback, and experiment with “effecting the affect of the other.”

A portion of the SENSOREE Gym will be installed. The SENSOREE Gym is sensory circuit training. A network of SENSOREE Apparatus provides a series of exercises that realigns the sensorium – the body’s ability to assimilate stimuli. This experience reboots the body and focuses the mind. http://sensoree.com/artifacts/sensoree-gym/

Kristin Neidlinger / SENSOREE
kristin neidlinger — future concepts design, sensoree founder — crafts phenomenal technology to enhance and expand physical embodiment. She is interested in how technology increases body awareness and to what extents.

SENSOREE designs future fabrics and smart textiles for wearable technology and interactive installations. Our whimsical designs create external nervous systems that inspire body awareness, insight, spontaneity, and fun!

SENSOREE explores the SCI: Sensory Computer Interface as they investigate proximity, intimacy, telepathy, intuition, and humor between human and machine.

… a study of a multi-disciplinary artistic and scientific approach for human transformation. <EyeTanya> believes in capturing moments in time expressing the vitality of life. <EyeTanya> through 1st person and varying perspectives explores parodying and defying stigmas of (dis)ability in an effort to reclaim one’s ability. And finally through self-actualizing performances with time-capturing devices <EyeTanya> calls upon neo self-mythology to create a future identity.
