“…the body exists in space and time and that, through its interaction with the environment, its defines the parameters within which the cogitating mind can arrive at ‘certainties’, which not coincidentally almost never include the fundamental homologies generating the boundaries of thought…. for conscious thought becomes an epiphenomenon corresponding to the phenomenal base the body provides … embodiment creates context by forging connections between instantiated action and environmental conditions … emphaz[ing] the importance of context to human cognition” (“How We Became Post-Human”, Katherine Hayles , pg 203).

   Abstract

This thesis is an interactive experience design project that explores methods of creating rich sensorial and consciousnesses experiences through digital means. With this intent, I have investigated the cognitive strategies of augmentation and transformation with an emphasis on quantum physics and embodiment. Herein, I am dealing with the paradigm shifting concept of initiating a mind/body - computer meld or communication interaction. By pushing the boundaries of scientific thought regarding human versus computer capabilities and the potential for these capabilities to work in tandem, I attempt to take the recent revelations in physics, psychology and neuroscience and couple them with concepts in human computer interaction and new developments in wireless communication technologies using digital arts techniques and training, to envision experimental means of connecting humans to technology. The implications of these ideas and my experience design experiment could alter the way we communicate and interact with technology.
