Beyond New Media - Ryota Matsumoto and the Postdigital - contemporary-artist @ ウィキ

Our sociocultural constructs focus on daily practice and the embodied experience of places of social memory. This is observed and reflected in the artwork so as to recreate states of intensity along the spectrum of the collective affect between the human body, the nonhuman agents, the urban artifacts and all the infinitesimal steps in between as visual schemas. Consequently, the transduction process of these intensities as a time-image is transcribed in the artwork as a hybrid interface between the necessary actual and the possibilist virtual within a spatiotemporal continuum.

The posthumanist approach to the health system acknowledges the implication of humans in the context of diversity-dependent meshwork, while also engaging with recent developments in the NIBC suite of technologies. On this basis, all manners and forms of contingent material relations in the biophysiological system are taken into consideration for the public health in the age of emerging biotechnology. The enactment for posthuman pathology is predicated on multiagent interactions between the human body and nonhuman entities in the meshwork of social and material assemblages.
