PROPOSAL

Prosthetic Space 2-Day Exploration

I propose to conduct a small scale exploration of our tactile perception of space. During my stay at BCCA I will explore the place of residency and surrounding area using a pair of simple, hand-made prosthetic limbs. The design of the limbs still needs to be finalised. By doing this I hope to gain an altered, extended experience of objects and their nature. I am interested in the relationship of the body to an object when approached through such artificial tool.

I encourage anyone who is interested to take part in this exploration. I offer to make extra pairs of prosthetic limbs for participants, but I also welcome individual designs and suggestions. Group exploration is highly desirable as it would bring a broader range of sensations and provide a better background for discussion.

I aim to have fun during the residency period. I want to pop balloons with my prosthetic limbs and touch things otherwise untouchable or out of reach.
I would like to conclude my residency with a Prosthetic Feast. All meals at the Prosthetic Feast need to be consumed wearing a pair of prosthetic hands. A natural dialogue/discussion should be part of the feast to reflect upon the exploration and its meaning.

Volunteers are welcome to engage in all parts of the projects.

To follow-up the residency I intend to write a short poetic piece reflecting on the experience.
