The Implicit Body as Performance: Analyzing Interactive Art
ABSTRACT This paper puts contemporary theories of embodiment and performance in the service of interactive arts criticism. Rather than focusing on vision, structure or signification, the author proposes that we explicitly examine bodies-in-relation, interaction as performance, and “being” as “being-with.” He presents four concrete areas of concentration for analyzing the category of interactive art. The author also examines how such work amplifies subjects and objects as always already implicated across one another.
This paper,by studying the text of Sun Ling's work Dancing on the Silk Road and combining with biographical research and textual narration research,discusses three visual relationships in the text,that is,the other in the author's eyes,the self in the author's eyes and the author in the other's eyes,and discusses the relationships between the construction and being constructed between the awareness of the subject and its coordination between the public domain and private domain.
