sensing affect

 

​

affect changes how we feel 

and what we can do

we begin in relation

we begin in events

​

​

how we sense, feel, and think the world

on the surface of our skin

activating potentials

alternative forms of life

most of what we experience

can't be seen, named, or spoken

​

​

 drawing with biosensors

​

tapping into the sympathetic nervous system

​

the body as a medium

surfing waves of intensity

a lexicon of unnamable feelings

longer than any dictionary

 sensible but imperceptible forces

​

​

sometimes our signals tend towards synchrony

depending on the dance of co-attunement

bodies drift in and out of resonance

​

affect circulates across distances

like the connection between ET and Elliot

or when you look at the moon 

it's felt here and felt there

the missing half second

​

the feeling of the future and the past in the present 

​

new constellations of value

a feeling that matters

​

​

​

llatencies and potencies

​

​

atmospheres and architectures of feeling

​

​

​

learning to be affected

more and less
