Body degree zero

Published: 06 November 2005 Publication History

Abstract

The Einstein's Brain Project is a collaborative group of artists and scientists who have been working together for the past 9 years. A central aim of the group is the visualization of the biological state of the body through the fabrication of environments, simulations and installations. The Project has developed numerous installations using analog to digital interfaces to direct the output of the human body to virtual environments that are constantly being altered through feedback from a participant's biological body. The core of the Einstein's Brain Project is a discursive space that engages with ideas about the constructed body in the world and its digital cybernetic and post-human forms. This paper describes the form and context of the performance Body Degree Zero.
