JEANETTE GINSLOV Dance artist from Edinburgh
Conspiracy Archives and Downscaling in Deep Flow

JEANETTTE GINSLOV, based in Dundee, Scotland will discuss the evolution of her research path of over 25 years. This Informance asks: How can AR and MR amplify and share somatic states of experience using Screendance viewed on mobile devices? How may an embodied dance practice using biosensor technology, explore and ground lived experience in the world around one? To answer these questions Ginslov will discuss and show examples of several of her Screendance and AR creative collaborative projects. She will also discuss her PhD research Deep Flow that explores embodied dance practice using biometric feedback data to “look inwardly”, at dance “as experience”, rather than looking outwardly at mediated visual representations. Ironically this form of practice downscales the use of technology to return to first person experience, to reconnect to one’s own felt sense of the world, in an age saturated and distracted by online mediation and
“datafication.”
