The presence of the body in digital artistic experiences

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show that the participation of the body in digital artistic experiences requires a redefinition of the problematic concerning aesthetic experience mediated by technology. We argue that aesthetic experience is related to the discovery and reconfiguration of the body in its constant experimentation of the world, of itself and of the other. Our objective is to present, in the context of artistic experiences using technological instruments, some body/machine and body/mediating objects interactions that can contribute for the creation of aesthetic experiences technologically mediated. Such dynamics are capable to transform the body (its images, sensations and movements) into possibilities of updating the ways in which we transform ourselves and discover the world and the others.
