Presentation
When the Observer Becomes the Observed
SessionEcological Worlding
DescriptionTraditional sensors function as exact measuring instruments to represent the physical world. Conversely, humans are subjective, inaccurate sensors, whose measured quantities are often influenced by their perception of the environment. In this project, we speculate on the possibility of a sensing system where the human being becomes the sensor. We observe the human sensor through their movement, as a performative expression of the measure. We explore this concept through site-specific embodied practices, gathering movement and textual expressions related to environmental sensing from professional choreographers. This data is then utilized to fine-tune a large language model that generates abstract words based on the input movements. This language model is integrated into a system as a critical alternative to the technology of sensing, where the process of sensing turns into reflecting the observer's subjective body expression rather than providing a 1:1 mapping of the phenomenon.
