Extruding the Body with Light to Make Visible the Spatial Relationships inherent in Gesture and Posture
نویسنده
چکیده
Physically extruding the body allows us to magnify and draw focus to the relative position of different body parts. It also allows us to consider how postures and gestures might impact surrounding space. If the extrusions are realized with light they would not constrict the body, hinder movement, or otherwise affect the wearer or their surroundings, except to inform both wearer and observer of dynamic changes in the resulting spatial relationships. Light, therefore, seems an ideal medium for this purpose.
