Embodied Perception
Lab
Experimental Meetup
When the body touches the world,
when we encounter others,
something begins to emerge.
An experimental gathering exploring
body, technology, and art.
Introducing
: Embodied Perception Lab
Maybe we cannot find new questions alone.
When the body touches the world, when we encounter others, when something unexpected happens
—something begins to emerge.
A sensation that has not yet become language.
A question that has not yet found its form.
Embodied Perception Lab is an experimental gathering that explores the present moment through the body, technology, and art.
It is a space to think through the body, to encounter different forms of expression, and to let new questions arise through shared experience.
This is not a place for finished answers.
It is a place for testing ideas, listening, taking creative risks, and discovering possibilities together.
Our first gathering will explore the relationship between body and technology.
This is not a one-time event, but the beginning of an ongoing project and a growing creative community in New York City.
More details and an open call for collaborators will be announced soon.
Embodied Perception Lab #01
Join us for the first gathering of Embodied Perception Lab—an experimental evening where body, technology, and artistic practice come together through live performance, music, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Rather than presenting finished answers, this is a space for artists to explore, experiment, and create new questions together.
