Table G: Embodied "Body Interfaces – Contesting Agency" Body Interfaces is an artistic performance research that combines working with the body and (as) materiality in the tradition of site specific performance art combined with an understanding of the body derived through a methodology coming from technology. The interface in Body Interfaces is inscribed in the body’s relation to the world and the actions that it partakes, with the body as an embodied technology in itself. It is a proposition to go beyond the mere body / machine dichotomy to an understanding of the interface as a crucial part of experiencing and sensing in everyday life, through and with the body. As theorized by Branden Hookway, the interface is seen as culture, a relational space also existing outside, but still in relation to technology. Hookway describes how two entities interact, where the threshold of the two begins and ends with the interface as a liminal condition that deals with these entities in interaction and distinguishes the interface as a “between faces” and “a facing between” (Hookway, 2014). +INFO: www.gredits.org/interfacepolitics/es/body-interfaces-2/
