Abstract

People have aesthetic experiences when they manipulate objects skillfully. Highly skilled performance with an object requires forming a highly intimate relationship with it. Aesthetics flow from this intimacy. This paper discusses three works which bring together technology and art to illustrate the issues of intimacy and embodiment. The three works are: Iamascope, video cubism and the forklift ballet.
