The Body as Interface
I was trained as an architect, then chose the electronic art field to investigate the way human beings can experience space and how we, as perceivers, reconstruct the internal and external worlds by means of our sensorial system. Very important to me is to redefine the way we understand interaction in contemporary art, investigating how people's perception of their environment can influence their social interaction within that very environment - interaction in terms of the "intimate", the "personal" and the "social".
Over the years, my work has fused all these elements into interactive works that incorporate combinations of real-time visuals and sound, gestures, interfaces and computer controls. These are interactive installations that are at the intersection of architecture and performance art; they are what I refer to as "performance-space expression".
Lately I have been specifically interested in a field of research concerning the "Body as Interface". The main point of departure was the idea to measure human encounters, making changes in proximity or distance visible and audible. I used interactivity to explore the possibility to distance oneself from one’s personal environment, causing experiences of extension. From our individual subjective position we gain access to undiscovered imaginative shared phenomena.
