| Abstract |
This paper offers a contribution to an emerging culturally
orientated discourse regarding mixed reality interaction. It seeks
to define syncretic, or hybridized agency, particularly in social
mixed reality data transfer artworks. Recent developments in
bridging relationships with digital representation of identity
through mixed reality interfacing, have brought about the need for
further analysis of these new post-biological, hybridized states of
being that traverse traditional paradigms of biophysics. time and
space, and artistic practice. Roy Ascott’s interpretation of
syncretism within digital networks may facilitate further
understanding of multi-layered consciousness, both material and
metaphysical, that are emerging from our engagement with such
pervasive computational technologies and post-biological
systems. Syncretism has traditionally been regarded as an attempt
to harmonise and analogise. Citing recent examples of practical
research outcomes, this paper will cite what Deleuze and Guattari
have called ‘deterritorialisation’ of the human body and its
dispersion throughout multiple reality manifestations and how
mixed reality data transfer might constitute a ‘reterritorialising’
effect that creates a syncretic post-biological digital identity for
the user. |
