| Abstract |
This paper offers a contribution to an emerging culturally
orientated discourse regarding mixed reality interaction. It seeks
to analyse syncretic, hybridized agency, particularly in mixed
reality data transfer systems. Recent developments in bridging
autonomous relationships with digital representation 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 time and space. Roy
Ascott’s concept of syncretism may facilitate further
understanding of multi-layered world views, 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 [1] Citing recent examples of practical
research outcomes, this paper will analyse what Gilles Deleuze
and Fèlix Guattari have called ‘deterritorialisation’ of the human
body through its dispersion throughout multiple reality
manifestations and how mixed reality data transfer might
constitute a ‘reterritorialising’ effect on syncretic post-biological
digital identity construction [2]. |
