Indeed, dizziness is more than feeling dizzy. Contributions by artists, researchers from experimental sciences as well as cultural studies, and philosophers trace dizziness not only as a phenomenon of physiological, emotional, and cognitive processes but highlight the transversal nature of the phenomenon.
How can we utilise dizziness in the sense of ‘staring into the abyss’ as a stimulus for the fundamental act of philosophising? Is it really the limit, threshold, limen and aporia that incite thinking?
"DizzyMess" is a 4-channel immersive soundscape and video installation which will be shown at the upcoming FUSO video-art festival in Lisbon.
The blurring of art’s boundaries enables it to cross-pollinate and conquer new territories.
Collaborative and socially engaged practices are central to contemporary artists. Understanding their work not just as discrete practices of visual expression, but as a form of world building, artists engage with culture writ large, within places, circumstances, and communities they live in.
