The Implicit Body<\/p>\n

Nicole Ridgway and Nathaniel Stern ( http:\/\/nathanielstern.com ) will discuss their concept of the implicit body: the body as an emergent locus of exchange. Showing contemporary examples of interactive and immersive work, The Implicit Body explores questions of affect and perception, and embodiment as performance. This will be followed by a closer look at Stern’s own video, performance and interactive pieces.<\/p>\n

nicole ridgway is an interdisciplinary scholar and public intellectual who currently teaches at the Wits School of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand. She teaches in the fields of cultural, visual and gender studies across the divisions of film, drama, art, and interactive media. In 2000 she was awarded a Markle Foundation Fellowship to explore the teaching of Digital Arts in South Africa, and in 2001 spent a year as a Visiting Professor in the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University. Her two most recent publications address the question of interactivity and new media art (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153In Excess of the Already Constituted: Interaction and Performance\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) and the anthropological concept of culture appropriated as a form of prophylaxis in popular discourses around HIV\/AIDS (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Culture, Contact and Contamination; Or, If I Touch You Will I get what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve Got?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d).<\/p>\n
