Abstract

‘The Internet of Bodies’ - a series of keynotes, lectures, panels and presentations exploring new cyborg futures. Ghislaine specialises in the future human, body responsive technologies and immersive experiences. She is Co-founder and Creative Director of body>data>space, a pioneering interactive creative design collective who have advocated for the living body to be at the heart of the digital debate since the early 1990s. With a background in dance and performing arts and a long-term focus on the blending of our virtual and physical bodies, she engages in highly topical and future digital issues for our living bodies, including personal data usage, identity and representation of the self, connected body enhancements and collective connectivities of the future.

One of the most exciting and yet also the most challenging debates of our times is that of the integration of automata, machine learning and AI into our daily existences. Ghsilaine, a long term researcher and concept developer on the virtual physical blending, body connectivity and"liveness" and the hyper-sensory self.

In the attached article “ What is it that makes us human?- exploring our future creativity and identity “ Ghislaine writes about her curatorial programme on the future human at FutureFest2016 - debates, experiences, talks, installation and presentations, formed from her research into the future creativities and identities in relationship to ourselves and our integration processes with our technologies. this output represents a live programme for 4000 public held in Tobacco Docks in London 7/8th July 2016.

Through her research-led practise Ghislaine presents and extends her thought processes into the public realm, for debate and evolution, to enable access by creative industries, education and cultural experts to the imperative debate about our identity, our self -hood and our agency in the future, as we move through considerable issues on data ethics and personal / bio-signal data is no longer automatically belonging to us.

‘The Internet of Bodies’ has enabled Ghislaine’s research to become highly noticeable in a widening circuit, with complex debates post her topical presentations of ever expanding research materials. In 2017, Ghislaine was awarded the IX Immersion Experience Visionary Pioneer Award by Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) for her long-term innovative work in digital arts, and in particular her “passionate and inspirational engagement towards embodied intelligence”.
