testing presence and digital liveness, discussing biomedia,
exploring life in excess and the psychopathology of the digital age,
and more<br>
<br>
“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?<br>
<br>
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?<br>
