Obrazy, zmysły i ciała. O wizualnej dynamice u progu biomediów
Images, Senses and Bodies. Visual Dynamics at the Rise of Biomedia

Summary/Abstract: There are two cultural strategies shaping the order of images and visual culture by reaching beyond their traditional understanding. The first one is about restructuring cultural codes for sensing and understanding images. The second is based on biotechnological attempts to bypass senses and plug images directly into the neural system of the human body. The aim of this essay is to decode both strategies in a number of artistic creations by Yves Klein, Björk, and Jason Derulo, and to explain them in terms of visual culture and digital media theories by Maurice Merleau-Ponty, John Berger, Didier Anzieu, and Melina Diaconu. Such a mixture of media practices and theories leads to questions regarding future of watching, seeing and interacting with images, as well as our ability to use them in digital surroundings.
