| Mobile Bodies in the Realm of
the Senses: The Experiments of Symbolism and Chronophotography. At the turn of the century both artists and scientists converged on a new exploration of the human body and its senses. This involved new technological modes of recording and representation, many of them exploring the previously unexamined aspects of sight and hearing and its technological recording and analysis. I want to explore the way Symbolist poets like Rimbaud and Charles Cros and painters such as Burne-Jones, Fernand Khnopff and Kupka both drew on new scientific technologies and even contributed to them in their attempt to create a modern art of the senses. The intersection between this artistic experimentation and the scientific experimentation on the body in motion by such photographer researchers as Muybridge, Mary, Albert Londe, and Demeny would form the center of my talk. |
