About Sensorical Spatial (www.sensoricalspatial.wordpress.com)

Sensorical Spatial is about observing spaces, interrogating spaces, interrogating ourselves within thesespaces and likewise, these spaces within us. It is to blur the line between the “in-here” with the “out-there”, to ease forth an interconnectedness of energy, a dialogue between body and space through movements, stillness, and the in-betweens. It is to say that we cannot help but exist within space, to have space(s) exist within us, shaping our affective potentialities as well as literal movements or becomings. It is to say that we cannot help but move and in so doing, interact every moment with our surroundings, our spaces of within and beyond. It is to ask: what work does it do to become conscious, to subjectively observe, to place oneself with all of one’s complexities within a space, moving through a space, and in so doing, being moved upon? What questions does this pose to an existent vision of the world, of one’s self within that world, of the daily, momentary dialogues between body and space which so often we ignore? For we cannot help but move and how interesting it all might be to see a space for what it may offer,listen to what a space may say, smell the rolling landscapes of spaces from the sublime to the downright putrid. To subjectively enter the dialogue with spaces through the resounding echoes of wingtips or stilettos on marbled floors, padded knocks on wooden doors, silences of long-beholden hallways, residual smells of waffles in warm kitchens, screams of maddened insomnia from homeless shelter quarters, swirling dialogue from conversations compounded, or the silent laughter of absent children from abandoned swing sets. What stories exude from spaces never asked? What stories are yet to come?

This project aims to blur the lines between the animate and the inanimate.

A woman walks into a hospital, a man enters his cubicle at the beginning of a long work week, a child stares at the sidewalk concrete as it glitters in the light from the street lamps above. These are dialogues between people and spaces, spaces and people. We are, consciously or unconsciously, affectively attentive to spaces and the ways in which our body, mind, vision, the apparatus of Being speaks to spaces and what those spaces say back to us.

We move. From space to space. Within space. Likewise, we are moved upon. We are in flux. Space is in flux. We fluctuate in a tireless tango with space. What does this mean? What work does this do?
