The Recorded Body

The Recorded Body started with me getting sick. When I got diagnosed, my body became unknown to me. First I learned to live with its sickness, then to limit my living so I don't get as sick as often. "Being sick" is a gray, existential category, an inhabited gradation of illness.

 

The Recorded Body is interested in sonic signifiers. What does it mean to sound well? What sounds disqualify a body from wellness? These questions help me locate my body.
