Electromagnetic Bodies is an interdisciplinary collaboration, providing an opportunity for the participating artists to reflect on their own practice in the light of scientific research. With Nikola Tesla’s (1856-1943) pioneering work as a point of departure, the primary objective of the Electromagnetic Bodies project is to consider the human body simultaneously as a source, an echo, a transmitter and as a point of resistance to electromagnetic waves. Considering the long history of imaginary and concrete automata, culminating in the present concept of the cyborg and the post-human issues, one may consider the need of re-interpretations of the issues of expression, gesture and agency in the context of body immersion in the electromagnetic realm.
