NetArt-Liveness by Marko Ciciliani

In this project I try to create the experience of presence and liveness in virtual browser-based spaces, in order to enable aesthetic experiences with qualities that are usually rather attributed to the physical world. However, the virtual environment will not be used to reproduce experiences of the physical world in an identical way. Instead, the research process is intended to identify specifities of presence and liveness in the digital world. The core question to be researched is in shortest form: How can virtual spaces be built into web pages that offer audiovisual experiences with qualities of presence and liveness that are comparable with experiences in non-virtual environments, but at the same time unfold media-specific characteristics?

"SkylAR - TONG"

Text (by Marko Ciciliani)

My tong penetrates my left nostril.

Flicking, I force my way into the pharynx.

Auto-titillation – I sneeze.

My tong penetrates my right nostril.

Manoeuvring around a pearl of saliva.

Not bitter, nor sweet, nor salty, nor sour.

I swallow.

Now my tong rolls backwards.

With its bifurcated tips it enters the eustachian catacombs

That bring them to the tympanic cavity.

A quick drum-roll –

now retract before the hammer can strike!

Sassy

Use of voice

I recorded my own voice but I spoke the text by inhaling the air which very much changed its character. Furthermore, I recorded it by pressing a contact microphone against my front teeth and another one against my larynx which entailed a very dry sound as if it had been recorded from inside the body.
