The body-computer interface in new media art from 1984 to the present

我们对计算机的理解受到界面的主导认知模型的限制。本研究产生了一个美学框架，分析新媒体艺术作为一种流派，并跟踪其发展，通过变化的接口从有限的键盘/屏幕组合，通过多个感官接口的新兴趋势，生产的界面作为生物和代码之间的动态关系。它考察了新媒体艺术作品中身体和计算机之间界面的发展，建立了新媒体艺术家，从1984年起，专注于感官身体作为与虚拟媒体交互和相互渗透的场所。

Our understanding of computers is restricted by dominant cognitive models of the interface. This study produces an aesthetic framework for analysing new media art as a genre and traces its development through changes in the interface from the restricted keyboard/screen assemblage through multiple sensory interfaces to the emerging trend of producing the interface as dynamic relation between biology and code. It examines the development of interfaces between the body and computers in new media art work, establishing that new media artists, from 1984 onwards, have focussed upon the sensate body as site for interfacing with, and interpenetrating, virtual media.
