Cybernetic Body / State of Emergence Part III
State of Emergence?
So, what does State of Emergence mean? It’s of course a wordplay with the term ‘state of emergency’ because those exceptional states in society are part of the original subject of my piece. But the state of ‘Emergence’ also refers to our internal sense of our body and and movement originating from it. What we are sensing is a kind of internal circuit and one key point in my working with my themes in a kinetic way is these origin points of action that come from this circuit. It’s a way of giving different points of the body the opportunity to lead and generate movement/action that affects the whole.
This sensing of the internal circuit is something that is, in different forms, a part of relaxation and meditation in many traditions. In the Guitar Craft and Guitar Circle there is a practice called Morning Sitting and it was in that context during my own practicing that I found, or sensed, the possibility for originating movement, at least for myself, in a different way than usual. The mind has a tendency to lead so, this offers a different way with an emphasis on exploration.
Couple of questions:
1. Can I sense my body, the circuit of feeling or sensitivity, from the inside?
2. After doing so, can there be an impulse for movement, originating from some part of this circuit of sensitivity, that completely surprises me?
