Abstract

This proposal investigates the transition of the individual body sensorium into a collective global techno-sensorium extending the perception and mediating the ecological sensitivity of the human. Examples of extended body protheses (satellites, sensor technologies…) and their functioning are used to explain the inter-relationships of a proliferating techno-sensorium that activates environmental protheses such as “biorocks”, glacier blankets or anti-forestation listening technologies.
