For my free project Hic et Nunc, I am exploring the concept of communication and perception between our microcosms and macrocosms. In short, whether it be a human or a dog, each individual lives with two universes: the brain in which a chemical, biological, and electrical activities control our behavior and the surrounding universe in which they constantly receive perceptual (visual and auditory) cues. | |||
This project was a derivative of the aforementioned concept that dealt primarily with physical, body movements. Physical movements are also comprised of big and small movements. Each bodily movement requires a number of smaller movements to work correctly and, more importantly, convey the right message. Nonverbal communication sends a clear message only because each small - and often undetected - movement tells its own story. The juxtaposition of the general and specific movements not only shows the complexity of our body language, but also | |||
In addition to different scales of motions, I focused on the element of breaking points. To clarify, breaking points here do not mean that something has to break or stop working. It was rather meant as the moment between one movement to the next, showing the change in emotions. When I gave directions to the participants, some were asked to stay still as long as possible. We detect an unnatural action like that immediately. So when the participants have to move, even a finger, out of discomfort, we do not need an explanation to know how the person feels. We already know. Body language is so subtle yet unbelievably easy. Even when the signs are minuscule, we still understand the silently expressed stories. | |||
