Abstract

Inspired by Paul B. Preciado’s work of autotheory, Testo Junkie, and the various processes of self-shaping that circulate through his corpus, this visual piece and its accompanying personal essay draw upon the artist’s familial and ancestral knowledge of their grandmother’s confinement in an asylum. Developing a visual methodology based on the holographic philosophy of Nondual Śaiva Tantra, Techno-Tantrik Embodiment seeks to offer analogous holistic technologies that harness the power of the repressed and the taboo, to transform mind, body and environment. The piece questions how technological scale sets conditions for relations, feelings, democratic processes and infrastructures, and it provides a mixed-reality approach to consciousness, asking: what types of engagement with image-based systems can subvert and transform our worldview? Utilizing a queer framework that eschews respectability or a quest for ‘positive’ counternarratives, it explores the possible synergies between Tantrik and digital technologies, to build meaningful connections with ourselves and alterity.
论技术的具体化
受保罗·B·普雷西亚多(Paul B.Preciado)的自我理论作品《泰托·容基》(Testo Junkie)以及在其语料库中流传的各种自我塑造过程的启发,这幅视觉作品及其随附的个人文章借鉴了艺术家对祖母被关在收容所的家族和祖先知识。Techno Tantrik Implementation开发了一种基于非对偶的全息哲学的视觉方法论,旨在提供类似的整体技术,利用压抑和禁忌的力量,改变思想、身体和环境。这篇文章质疑技术规模是如何为关系、情感、民主进程和基础设施创造条件的,它提供了一种混合现实的意识方法,并问道:什么类型的基于图像的系统可以颠覆和改变我们的世界观?它利用一个回避受人尊敬或寻求“积极”反叙事的酷儿框架,探索了坦特里克与数字技术之间可能的协同作用,以与我们自己和他人建立有意义的联系。
