Embodied Multi{(Body; Space; Time; Performance;)} Marlot Meyer (2020)
Technology has created an interconnected, globalised world, with digital experiences reshaping our terms of existence and presenting us with bewildering opportunities and threats. Yet we feel we are moving further away from what it means to be human as we lose our connection to our bodies, nature and our immediate environment. But a disembodiement simply means a shift of focus from object to communication and interaction. What does it then mean, to be embodied in a mediated world? Are there new possibilities that only exist in the liminal spaces between physical and virtual?

When we see “internet of things”, let’s make
it an internet of beings.
When we see “virtual reality”, let’s make it a
shared reality.
When we see “machine learning”, let’s make
it collaborative learning.
When we see “user experience”, let’s make it
about human experience.
When we hear “the singularity is near”, let us
remember: the plurality is here.
