I wrote about Futurism and the body without organs concept. To summarise and find the similarities between two, body without organs, a body without an image, a deeper reality underlying some well-formed whole constructed from fully functioning parts. Body without organs is against the predefined locations and functions of organs, it is against the organism. The body is dynamic, not static, it changes all the time. They are not objects but a mass of intensities that are always in resonance. The Body without Organs is often compared to an egg. “That is why we treat the BwO as the full egg before the extension of the organism and the organisation of the organs, before the formation of the strata; as the intense egg defined by axes and vectors, gradients and thresholds, by dynamic tendencies involving energy transformation and kinematic movements involving group displacement, by migrations: all independent of accessory forms because the organs appear to function here onl...

I wrote about the history of sensory deprivation and the experiments on it which led me to sense of flotation and intention to visualisation of flotation, a movement. In addition to my previous researches I want to write about Boccionis' approach to Futurism and dynamism which I believe might be relatable and assistive to my researches and also briefly about "body without organs" since I try to visualise it by deforming the body figure and capturing a motion. Umberto Boccioni, an Italian painter and sculptor who helped shaping the revolutionary aesthetics of the Futurism movement, he guided the artist with his approach to the dynamism of form and deconstruction of solid mass even after his death. In his book on futurism, "Plastic Dynamism", he writes; "Between real and ideal forms, between new forms (Impressionist) and traditional forms (Greek) we have discovered a form which is variable, evolutionary, and quite...

The final word I chose to sum my researches up is "floatation", it is what I want to visualise as well so I started making figurative sculptures out of sisal. The feeling of flotation reminded me how a drop of ink spreads when mixed with water and it is not something whole or stable anymore. When I try to translate it to human or a figure, it should look just like the ink, like seeing every movement in a very slow motion. Although, I thought it is not that aesthetic to show all the movement so I want to visualise some parts of the body during the moment of transition, to consciousness to unconsciousness or vice versa, and let the eye complete it. As a visual reference for the movement I took a panoramic picture, while I move the camera the figure moves as well so it looks something like; ...
