< body > as body syntax

About the project

<body> as body syntax is a speculation on the actual translation of proximity interactions between two or more bodies into literal texts. It defines a dynamic structure, such as body language – a veritable semantic language. It highlights how the perception of proximity between two bodies is subjective but also fleeting.

Emphasizing, through the legitimacy of the written text and the precision of data, that some dynamics are not always visible and perceptible the moment they occur. With this project, Anna focuses on speculation of a future in which wearable technology could play a fundamental role in human and social dynamics. And in this case, regarding gender violence.

About the approach

The underlying idea of ​​the work is that it grows according to the subjectivity of people and their perspectives. From the point of view of wearability and properties that it can detect, it meets the needs or preferences of the subject who wears it and what is around them.
