Hull SLIPPAGE Studio -- Followed by an outdoors collective performance.Introducing Metabody concepts through embodied thinking in motion and the projects Disalignments and Microsexes. Microsexes is a Metaformance ¿ ongoing process of transformation of perception - in which surveillance cameras placed on the skin become the eyes of the body, undoing the usual perceptual framing and with it the conditions of possibility of form and identity. The body becomes an amorphogenetic process of becoming, an unravelling of endless microsexes that defy binary and morphological construcionts of sex. JaiVal is an alien preacher, a microsex worker that disseminates posthuman affects through postintimate encounters for an ecology to come.Outdoors performance: MetakinesphereMetakinesphere is an analogue prototype for interactive/intra-active wearable architecture. A wearable structure made of flexible materials and translucent textiles that blurs the limits of the body and its legibility. A metabody, a body-space without recognisable form or function, that physically transforms in an elastic relation to bodily movement, bound by elastics to the ¿human¿ body which moves suspended in the relation to the architecture, while projecting its skin on the textiles through cameras placed on the skin and projecting the electronically processed voice.
