| Summary: | Metabody Project challenges standardization induced by communication technologies. Its main proposal consists in a series of environments named Metatopia: interactive installations made up of structures on which lights, virtual architectures and synthesized sound are projected. Participants situate themselves inside the device equipped with sensors that transform all elements in a non-linear, non-cartesian fashion with the purpose of encouraging ontological hacking: the emergence of diverse forms of corporeality and cognition. The present study focuses in participants’ experimentation with the device, in order to learn about their processes of bodily and cognitive otherness and the whole range of components making up their experience. A systematic observation has been conducted of their bodily performances, gestural functions and types of interaction with the environment, while in-depth interviews reveal their subjective experiences. Results are modeled by resorting to theories of embodied enactive cognition; Laban’s categories of movement; Bourdieu’s habitus; and the principles of ontohacking furthered by the project: disalignements, metagaming, amorphogenesis and flexinamics. The results disclose experiences where perceptual modalities crisscross and there take place metaphorization and subjective dislocation as a result of sensing the loss of control and the space-time notion, as well as the blurring of frontiers between the subject and the environment. |
