"To read is a bodily experience. An experience that a body enacts. There is no such thing as reading without a body. When we are reading we are experiencing, perceiving, that which happens to exist just in front of us, generally between our hands, before our eyes. I’m saying: when we are reading, because you are never alone when reading." — Luis Guerra Miranda, from the introduction to Camila Marambio & Cecilia Vicuña, Slow Down Fast
Drawing inspiration from Luis Guerra Miranda’s concept of ‘reading’ through sensory engagement, we will read. Accompanied by theoretical and artistic texts, we will explore how our five primary senses—touch, sight, taste, smell, and hearing—shape our perception. We will investigate how sensing is an act of ‘making sense’, involving filtering, interpreting, analyzing, synthesizing, editing,.. E.g. we'll discuss the difference between simply hearing and listening. Based on these explorations, in small groups, we will define a list of conceptual, somatic, linguistic and graphical tools that explore the chosen individual faculty of sense, and develop these concepts it into a set of games.
