Breathing Art: Art as an Encompassing and Participatory Experience

Breathing Art: Art as an Encompassing and Participatory Experience

Grammatikopoulou, Christina (2016), ‘New media, new perceptions: Art as an encompassing and participatory experience’, in: Chiel van den Akker; Susan Lêgene (eds.), Museums in a Digital Culture, How Art and Heritage Became Meaningful, Amsterdam University Press, pp.41-56. 

In this chapter I focus on four interactive artworks that require body movement and breathing as part of the interaction, in order to see how participants become co-creators of the artwork. Through a phenomenological approach, that shows how participation can generate different embodiment experiences, we see how artworks that require controlled breathing can influence awareness.
