Re: [microsound] an interesting thread from the reaktor forum

[David Powers <cyborgk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't find the exchange that interesting ... except for the one final comment:

"> no one has mentioned the body in all of this

you mean you guys have bodies?

what does that feel like?"

I love that ... it's as if this final comment comes from a ghost or
some virtual being. And then, instead of just provoking the obvious
answer: "of course we [guys] have bodies" there's the impertinent
final question, "what does that feel like?"

Which suddenly forces the disembodied cartesian [male] thinkers, to
remember their own materiality and embodiment; paradoxically, however,
this question has no answer, because the lived experience of the body
is precisely the experience that escapes the coordinates of language.
