Immersive Experience of the Immateriality
Abstract
This article sheds historical light to the holistic and tactile perception of the artwork, initially suggested by twentieth-century avant-garde artists and conceptually eloborated in Moholy-Nagy’s film theory and Benjamin’s groundbreaking text, “The Work of Art at the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”. Following a similar trajectory through materiality in contemporary new media theories, this article focuses in particular on Mark Hansen’s claim that the human body is central to grasping digital and immaterial images. It explores the forces of a similar haptic turn in selected artworks. Expanding with immaterial art works such as video and new media, today’s art examines the immersive experience and interaction exploring the spread of its haptic structure in space and time. This article, which aims to rethink tactility, will analyze the material aspects of artworks that change the space haptically, such as light and video installations, by looking at how the immaterial nature of digital artworks is mostly materialized through their influences on the bodies of the viewers. The transformative nature of effect and experience created in the tactile space-time continuum, to which the volunteer viewers of these immersive art experiences are invited, will be discussed.
