    Performing apps touch and gesture as aesthetic experience2013In: Performance Research, ISSN 1352-8165, E-ISSN 1469-9990, Vol. 18, no 5, p. 20-27Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper is concerned with aesthetic explorations of tactility and sensuality that contemporary multitouch gesture technologies offer. I explore the provocative performative space that is created in the feedback loop of the (popular) modernist interface design and engineering of Apple’s various iPhones and iPads and the multifarious aesthetic, musical, graphic, and textual interfaces of applications created by musicians, artists and writers. The paper is grounded in a comparative analysis of interfaces, focusing on the “dance of gestures” and its tight link to representation via that digital touch, the movement of the device, and the interfacial aesthetic elements of sound, image, and text. Among the interfaces/experiences studied are Björk’s biophilia, Opertoon’s Strange Rain, Jörg Piringer’s abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz and Jason Edward Lewis’s Speak. The dialogic between interface design and engineered interaction of the iPad’s LCD touchscreen extends to the user who, through sensory engagement, partakes in the aesthetic event. The paper argues that the touch-based works foreground a performative event, or, as I call it, an instance of polyaesthetics.
