Publication series: Atlas der Datenkörper
The new open access publication series "Atlas der Datenkörper" is edited by Johannes Breuer (PhD student at the Chair of the Theory and History of Design, Prof. Dr. Jan Willmann) together with Marlene Bart (Bauhaus-Universität Weimar) and Alex Leo Freier (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin). The anthology brings together contributions from art, design and science on recent - digital - body perceptions and images, and, ultimately, techniques of their production.
A body image is always both; materialization of an existing body concept and starting point for its change. The mass of body images and diversity of body representations in an environment drawn by digital media represents a fascinating as well as dynamic discourse. The "Atlas der Datenkörper" traces this by bringing together various cross-disciplinary positions, and combines analytical and reflexive positions with specific approaches in art and design. Through the plurality of approaches, the discursive and fluid character of corporeality is mapped, through which a novel perspective of digital - as well as generally media-mediated corporeality is brought forward.
