The human body is a site for electronic measurement and surveillance for many purposes. Medicine, security, and law enforcement are the major players but many other fileds including sports, bio-feedback therapies, and a nascent field called affective computing also benefit from the use of electronic biometric tools. The human body is also a site for electrical stimulation, again mostly by the medical profession but also for purposes of psychotherapy and meditation, torture – and its strangely related twin – erotic pursuits. Artists investigating their own bodies as sites for artwork have a rich and long tradition dating from the 1960’s with ritualistic, conceptual, and feminist experiments by Schwartzkogler, Burden, Acconci, Chicago, Schneeman, and Finley, to name only a few. More recently, the concept of cyborg influences the body art in the work of such artists as Orlan, Stelarc, Steve Mann, and Arthyr Elsenaar. We take a look at some of this tradition and also explore the new tools (and data sources) to see what they have to offer artists. This includes relatively cheap and available sensors for such human parameters as heartbeat, muscle tone, skin resistance, and breath. We examine technologies such as muscle stimulation and possibly, turning images into electrical potentials, to be sensed by through the skin )and recognized as images!), which already has been done by both scientists and artists. If funds permit, eye tracking and/or brainwave sensors, which tend to be more expensive and sophisticated, could be investigated. Readings include selections from Michele Foucault’s Discipline and Punish, Rosalind Picard’s Affective Computing, and Uncle Abdul’s Juice: Electricity for Pleasure and Pain.
