Urban Sensographies views the human body as a highly nuanced sensor
to explore how various performance-based methods can be implemented
to gather usable 'felt data' about the environment of the city as
the basis for creating embodied mappings. The contributors to this
fascinating volume seek to draw conclusions about the constitution,
character and morphology of urban space as public, habitable and
sustainable by monitoring the reactions of the human body as a form
of urban sensor. This co-authored book is centrally concerned, as a
symptom of the degree to which cities are evolving in the 21st
century, to examine the effects of this change on the practices and
behaviours of urban dwellers. This takes into account such factors
as: defensible, retail and consumer space; legacies of modernist
design in the built environment; the effects of surveillance
technologies, motorised traffic and smart phone use; the
integration of 'wild' as well as 'domesticated' nature in urban
planning and living; and the effects of urban pollution on the
earth's climate. Drawing on three years of funded practical
research carried out by a multi-medial team of researchers and
artists, this book analyses the presence and movement of the human
body in urban space, which is essential reading for academics and
practitioners in the fields of dance, film, visual art, sound
technology, digital media and performance studies.
