Currently my PhD research is entitled: Deep Flow: a tentacular worlding of dance, biosensor technology and lived experience through relational biofeedback of the human and non-humankind. This PaR explores how an embodiment of a heart rate monitor, with a somatic and meditation dance practice Deep Flow, may expand our understanding of lived experience and subjectivity in an age of Metric Culture and the Quantified Self. Deep Flow uses bio-relational feedback, not to control media and representation outside the body, endorsing binary notions of “inner and outer”, but rather focuses on enhancing subjective experience and embodiment, within a worlding of human and non-human materials. These are activated by cat’s cradling them within a tentacular worlding, using phenomenological and qualitative methods. I believe that by turning our attention to experiencing the pre-reflective with our bodies, we may deepen our understanding of subjectivity within advanced technological societies and the possibility of a new posthuman eco-feminist worlding.
