Nama (2012)

Nama was developed as part of a research project on relational aesthetics and the thresholds between the Tangible, the Virtual, and the Incorporeal. Taking up the series of relational objects developed by Brazilian artist Lygia Clark in the between the 60s and 80s as a starting point, the installation is revolves around a piece of fabric, which, through close interaction and movement with and along the body, is able to enact a tacit understanding of virtuality, such as: softness, uncertainty, flexibility and fluidity. By incorporating on the piece of fabric sensors capable of sensing the intensity of movement in different points, it becomes an instrument for a generative installation that aims to provide a non-verbal, embodied kinetic understanding of the virtual through interaction.
