Somatyczny Interfejs. Zwrot afektywny w sztuce
Somatic interface. The affective turn in art

Summary/Abstract: Departing from Net art and new-media performances, the author draws attention to art which has an effect on a physical level, drawing upon spectators’ new abilities of perception. Perception is a product of our physical functions. It is from this that sensory beauty is also derived, with its primary figure – emotional affectation. Diagnosing the affective turn in art, Jelewska demands increased interest in the affective modern history of theatre and drama, focusing on phenomena that are familiar to us nowadays and which activate and interact with our somatic interface, in the work of artists such as Romeo Castellucci, Heiner Müller, and Sarah Kane.
