  testing presence and digital liveness, discussing biomedia, exploring 
life in excess and the psychopathology of the digital age, and more

"We are intertwined with all of humanity, and the whole of humanity with 
us," predicted Marshall McLuhan almost fifty years ago. Today, thanks to 
the different forms of real-time media and networks, we can be anywhere 
at once. This hyper-presence has become a central aspect of our social 
practice. To be here, now, and to be online at the same time, changes 
our understanding of physicality and presence as individuals and as part 
of a community. What effect does this hybrid, transformative condition 
of digital liveness have on the concepts of body, identity and 
personality in our society?

BODY:RESPONSE explores the (post-)human conditions of aggregation in the 
relation between body and technology discussing specific biopolitical 
and bio-economical trends affecting the (post-)human body and it's 
relation to the world. The central question for the conference 
BODY:RESPONSE is: How can we understand this process of hybridization 
and disintegration of body- and identity configurations triggered by the 
hyper-immediacy and ubiquity of social networks? What kind of 
psycho-economical and biopolitical power relations and effects are 
coming along with this shifting moment of the (post-)human? And how can 
we respond to them?
