The Senses

Touch Workshop is a multimodal set of experiments that untangle the ideological orientation of the senses, organized around proprioceptive sensation and arriving at inverted performances. The project builds on the tactile research of Czech polymath Jan Švankmajer, his response to the censorship of his work in the 1970s. With Covid-19 a pervasive reality, touch is limited and vision dominates. How can the tactile imagination respond in the absence of tactile freedom? How do we transfer and transmit feeling, touching those outside of our time-space?

The Senses

The objective of this article is to discuss sociocultural and existential aspects of migration in the representations “Diaspora”, “Iracema voou” and “Gringuinho.” Living in the original territory line up as time goes by. This perception is shown through the incorporation of practices and culture in the hometown. Therefore, topographic relationships are established. The experiences imprint the feeling of the time lived by, all of this acting upon the construction and maintenance of individual and cultural identities which should go hand in hand with the national identity. The article also intends to notice the interactions of the migrant with the present time-space, and in this sense, take into consideration not only the concept of “new nomads” (HOFFMAN, 1999), but also the senses of the notion of topology. The topological space-time which presents itself and challenges the new immigrants is not only the local-stop moment and shelter of weird displacement, but also, and mainly, the solo-instant in which other subjectivities assimilate and embody other identities, or no, and affective references.

Definition Of

A classic definition of attention designates it as “the selective perception of a particular stimulus, sustained by means of concentration and the willing exclusion of interfering sense-data”. In our sense-data rich environments, attention has become a scarce commodity, increasingly valued and sought after, but with the paradoxical consequence that the very pursuit of attention cannot but register as distraction. How do artists confront and art spaces cope with this paradox, and how has the moving image in the museum changed the articulation of time, space and information that is narrative?
