actually this is a really interesting part of the discussion.
excellent research laboratories such as Philips and their experiments on
digital tattoos to be made directly on skin (
http://www.design.philips.com/probes/projects/tattoo/index.page ) open up
really interesting areas for discussion, building on concepts and practices
that come from multiple cultures and locations and opening them up for
entirely new symbolic and communicational scenarios.
also the works of Stelarc ( http://stelarc.org/testForFlash.html ), Orlan (
http://www.orlan.net/ ) and Marcel.lì Antùnez Roca (
http://www.marceliantunez.com/ ) constantly deal with publishing content,
information, imaginaries and opportunities for expression directly on the
body.
the body becomes a publishing platform in more than one way. Even (and that
is an incredible area for research) in the externalized parts of our
contemporary body such as mobile devices, which are becoming the places for
entirely new sensorialities.
all these artists and researchers are building new grammars, languages and
imaginaries turning the body into a new form of communication platform.
