Big article on See Yourself Sensing in Barnard Magazine

Apollinaire Scherr writes about dance and art.  She managed to turn a sprawling interview (with non-linear me) into a nice summary of my teaching and its relationship to the book (or vice versa).
Here it is:

Erik Hobijn at STRP Festival, Netherlands, this November

One of my favorite works in SYS - Erik Hobijn's Delusions of Self Immolation - is at the STRP Festival EXPO's  Dutch media and technological art retrospective (this November).

It works like this: you lube up with a flame-resistent gel, then you're set on fire for 1/4 to 1/2 second by a blast from a flame-thrower.
In the nick of time the lazy susan you're standing on flips you around and you're extinguished. 
Dark, precise, conceptual, brilliant.

Why Daito Manabe is so See Yourself Sensing

Daito (and numerous collaborators) posts semi-crude videos of himself before the monitor, experimenting with things like face tracking ("Face Tracker: Jason Saragih"), electrical stimulation and LED'S.  He lets us in on the experimentation - he sees himself and later we see him seeing himself.  He's also generous with his work. Click on these videos:
