Enactivism and Performance Art: Putting on Display Our Perception

Abstract

"Seeing, according to the enactive approach, is not something that happens inside our brain, rather it is something we do, but, as I will argue thanks to the performance art, it is something we do together. The performing arts, with their characteristics – autopoietic feedback loop, spectator/performer exchange, oscillation of the dichotomous subject-object pair - constitute a model through which to in-vestigate the nature of our perception, which is constitutively relational, participative, and transformative. Keywords: Enactivis, performing arts, percep-tion, enactive loniness, transformation. "
