Review
''Exploring the relationship between the body, design and technology, the book is perplexing and thought-provoking.'' --Aesthetica Magazine
''[A] stimulating survey of body-related art and design.'' --The Architectural Review
''There are plenty of works to illustrate each chapter, many of which i had never heard about and was therefore enthusiastic to encounter. But it is also a well-paced, well-researched essay about the impact technologies are having on the architecture of our senses.'' --We Make Money Not Art Blog
''The beautifully designed tome presents work 'at the forefront of investigation' - in architecture, fine art, design, cybernetics and neuroscience. [...] The objects in See Yourself Sensing are quite literally mind-blowing. --Bernard Magazine

Product Description
Did you know that we can see with our tongue? Or that we can plug our nervous system directly into a computer? With cybernetics, prosthetics, robotics, nanotechnology and neuroscience altering the way we perceive and experience space, the body has re-emerged as an important architectural site, revealing its astonishing potential as a creative medium. See Yourself Sensing: Redefining Human Perception is an explosive and unique survey that captures the fascinating relationship between design, the body, the senses, and technology. A timely discussion with cutting-edge design, See Yourself Sensing examines work from the last 50 years by artists, architects and designers who have been experimenting with the boundaries of our senses, changing the way we experience the world. The book explores the work of both established and upcoming artists, including internet sensation Daito Manabe, Korean artist Hyungkoo Lee, Lawrence Malstaf and collectives such as realities:united and Viennese-based Gelitin, and figures of worldwide acclaim, such as Ann Hamilton, Ernesto Neto, Carsten Höller, Olafur Eliasson and Rebecca Horn.

See Yourself Sensing
19 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This Fall Black Dog Publishing released Madeline Schwartzman's weird and wonderful book, See Yourself Sensing: Redefining Human Perception, a ten inch by nine inch paperback survey of artists and designers exploring the relationship between the senses and technology over the last fifty years.
With neuroscientists, nanotechnologists and computer engineers rapidly inventing new sense altering technologies, See Yourself Sensing, feels very much in the zeitgeist. The book explores the work of both upcoming and established artists, such as, Tim Hawkinson, Olafur Eliasson and Rebecca Horn as well as collectives such as realities:united and Gelitin, who have mined these new technologies for their own practices.
