For Hacking the Body we are:
1) working with open-source and live coding with custom interfaces and emerging devices in performance, focusing on revealing hidden, intimate and sensuous ‘code’ of the body for interaction and play;
2) working with inexpensive electronics kits with easy to learn open-source programming environments, soft circuits and other technologies for wearable crafting;
3) consider the possibilities of playful, expressive, gestural, live coding, as well as using the DIY maker ethos in multi-sensory participatory performances with new devices;
4) developing artworks that explore a new performance aesthetic using mobile and other ‘hacked’ devices for live coding, performance and interactive artworks;

For Hacking the Body we are:
5) adapting to and developing new technologies, creating generative visual and sensual pieces with custom software and mobile media ‘apps’ and sensors (GPS, Accelerometers, QR readers, AR apps etc.) and gestural gaming interfaces (Wii, Kinect, OmniTouch);
6) developing visual methods for tagging & categorising network media to create ambient narrative constructions and performance interactions, generative elements incorporated into custom interfaces for various platforms;
7) learning from dancers, live artists, musicians and others in the DIY and ‘Maker’ movement to create new wearable electronics and mobile applications;

Hacking the Body
A media performance research project that explores ways to ‘Hack’ the data from the body and create new visual and performance feedback mechanisms for users to engage and play with their mobile devices
ImageS from Kate Sicchio 2011
![Page 36: Camille Baker, PhD Digital Media Media artist/researcher/lecturer Digital Media/Broadcast Brunel University, London, UK Dublin, Ireland April 27, 2012.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cf55503460f949c48c7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Panel Topic Questions:
1) How do bio tools provide new strategies for communicating sensory experience and exploring subtle bodily impulses through performance work?
2) How might Open-Sourcing biosensor technologies play an important part in the development of these tools and bio-sensing performance culture?
3) How, as practitioners, do we assess the efficacy of the tools we are using, both in development and through feedback after a performance?
4) How do we balance garnering information about interior states from technology whilst working with our senses directly?
5) What role does visualising and sonifiying bodily signals have in defining how authentic our mediated experiences are?
