Detail Marinetti, Chopin, Stelarc and the Auratic Intensities of the Postmodern Techno-Body Bibliografi Author: Zurbrugg, Nicholas Bahasa: (EN )     Penerbit: Unika Atma Jaya     Tahun Terbit: 2006     Jenis: Article Fulltext: 93BS523.pdf (248.0KB; 0 download) Abstract Postmodern culture is usually defined as an age of mechanical reproduction and mechanical degeneration characterized by the eradication of performative aura. This article argues that a crucial distinction should be made between the ?anti-auratic? arguments of mainstream 20th-century cultural theory (discussed here in terms of the writings of Benjamin, Baudrillard and Virilio), and the regenerative auratic tradition in 20th-century avant-garde performance (discussed here in terms of the successive explorations of the multimediated body in the work of the Italian Futurist Marinetti, the French sound poet Henri Chopin and the Australian cybernetic body artist, Stelarc). If Baudrillard?s and Virilio?s most extreme hypotheses argue that postmodern technology reduces the body to the condition of the handicapped, Marinetti, Chopin and Stelarc all demonstrate how technological modifications of the body reinforce the impact of installation art and performance art exploring (and manifesting) individual identity. Significantly, the most interesting subtexts in Benjamin?s, Baudrillard?s and Virilio?s arguments all qualify their accounts of the alleged ?death? of aura, and in Baudrillard?s case now emphasize the ways in which photography ?rediscovers? aura.
