Objectied body,(The)

Florian Liber’s body representations areprimitives with ritual energy. Layering

color near color, he paints suddenly, empty-

ing his emotions and feelings onto canvas. Heleaves graphic marks, drips of paint, scratch-es and scribbles as evidence of the physicalact of painting. Contemporary subjects are

explored using the raw emotion of archaicprocesses to create a sense of uniqueness.

Y

ou will discover an original artist,

continuously opened to the externalworld, who has multiplied his artistic ex-periments. Florian LIBER is an artist of Eu-ropean tradition which was formed in theeld of the Viennese contemporary andmodern art. Its artistic works were exposedto Japan, Italy, France, Canada… beside PI-CASSO, MIRO, APPEL, RIOPELLE (Sam Bo-renstein, curator, Montréal) – see “ Mon-treal Hour / Visual Arts” Sept-Oct 2004.http://www.hour.ca/visualarts/venue.aspx?iIDSalle=538

We have an appointment with an an-alyst of social psychology regard-ing the actual metropolitan life. (OnApril 30, 2004, “ Le Devoir ”, Montreal)***Flori(a)n Liber is a visual and media artist.He completed his master degree in MediaCommunication at University of Montreal.

Consequently, Liber’s praxis tests the lim-its of an aesthetic theory of performance

that rests upon the exclusion of any “ma-chinelike technicity.” The “body” in this caseis not the represented body (e.g. the gureof the dancer in Liber’s digital video “perfor-mance,” Human Body Dismemberment), butthe transcoded body, the body inscribed in

and by a metamorphic algorithm (“le codeplastique et gestuel”). It is a programmaticapparatus, or what, in French, may be de-scribed as an écriture au corps: a body of writing and an embodied writing. And it isin accordance with a technics of writing, of inscription and circumscription, but equallyof gesture, that Liber’s quasi-analytic “dis-memberment” brings into question whatDerrida has termed the “inherited, ossied,simplied opposition between technē andphysis” – that is to say, between technologyand nature, the organic, the auto-mobileand self-sufcient. In turn, this questioningimplies a further examination of the opposi-tion between the whole and the fragment,the living body and the dead, already ren-dered ambivalent in Plato’s treatment of thebody as sōma. Echoing Artaud’s conceptionof a corps sans organs and Victor Tausk’smachine à inuencer, Liber’s experiment inperformative dismemberment deconstructsthe human/non-human dichotomy andtreats the “body” as a discursive, informat-ic topology which does not point towardsa “post” human condition but rather to a

“prosthesis at the origin” of the human assuch. In this way we are presented with whatamounts to an attempt at an “enactment” of a critique. (in Towards A New Aes-thetics , by Louis Armand and Brian Rose-bury, ISSN 0862-8424, December 2006).

CLONING STRATA. ULTIMATE BODYATAVISM

The contrasting binarism between ulti-mate disembodiment on the one hand

and the return to the eshy body on the othercoincides with the dichotomous boundary be-

tween technology and biology accelerating theemergence of unprecedented entities. (L.Parisi)

“I am dening corporealization as the inter-actions of humans and nonhumans in the dis-tributed, heterogenous work processes of tech-noscience. The nonhumans are both those madeby humans, for example, machines and othertools, and those occurring independantly of hu-man manufacture. The work processes result inspecic material-semiotic bodies--or natural-technical objects of knowledge and practice--such as cells, molecules, genes, organisms, vi-ruses, ecosystems, and the like. . . . The bodiesare perfectly ‘real.’ and nothing about corpore-alization is ‘merely’ ction. But corporealizationis tropic and historically specic at every layerof its tissues .”(E. Thacker, Bioinformatic Corpo-realizations )
