See Yourself X (SYX) is the second volume of Madeline Schwartzman's
timely series that began with See Yourself Sensing: Redefining
Human Perception (2011), a collection of fifty years of futuristic
proposals for the body and the senses. See Yourself X focuses on
the human head - our fundamental perceptual domain - presenting an
array of conceptual and constructed ideas for extending ourselves
physically and technologically into space. What will be the
physical future of the head and the sensory apparatus in fifty
years time? How will our mechanisms for communication change,
prompted, as predicted by technologists, by the advancement of
brain-to-brain communication? Everyone with a head should be
interested in this book. SYX had inauspicious origins. In March of
2012, Schwartzman was involved in an airplane crash on the way to a
book talk. The wing of her Delta MD-80 knocked over a shuttle bus
at over 150 miles per hour while landing in Detroit. Luckily no one
was hurt. But it did spark an investigation: do pilots feel the
width of their wings - a nearly 150 foot span? This was the
catalyst for SYX: to look across art practices and contemporary
culture at all ways of extending the head into space, and to move
headlong into the future.
