Why embodied approaches to cognition are better able to address the
performative dimensions of art than the dualistic conceptions
fundamental to theories of digital computing. In Making Sense,
Simon Penny proposes that internalist conceptions of cognition have
minimal purchase on embodied cognitive practices. Much of the
cognition involved in arts practices remains invisible under such a
paradigm. Penny argues that the mind-body dualism of Western
humanist philosophy is inadequate for addressing performative
practices. Ideas of cognition as embodied and embedded provide a
basis for the development of new ways of speaking about the
embodied and situated intelligences of the arts. Penny argues this
perspective is particularly relevant to media arts practices. Penny
takes a radically interdisciplinary approach, drawing on
philosophy, biology, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience,
cybernetics, artificial intelligence, critical theory, and other
fields. He argues that computationalist cognitive rhetoric, with
its assumption of mind-body (and software-hardware) dualism, cannot
account for the quintessentially performative qualities of arts
practices. He reviews post-cognitivist paradigms including
situated, distributed, embodied, and enactive, and relates these to
discussions of arts and cultural practices in general. Penny
emphasizes the way real time computing facilitates new modalities
of dynamical, generative and interactive arts practices. He
proposes that conventional aesthetics (of the plastic arts) cannot
address these new forms and argues for a new "performative
aesthetics." Viewing these practices from embodied, enactive, and
situated perspectives allows us to recognize the embodied and
performative qualities of the "intelligences of the arts."
