Art writing as absorption into the world

‘Art writing as absorption into the world’ is a collection of auto-theoretical writing that experiments with ways to make present the experience of a self that is producing and consuming a world made up of art, phenomenology and contemporary wellness trends. Distinctions between matter and knowledge are blurred within accounts of physical substances and bodily processes. The writing is taken from my 2017 practice-led Ph.D. ‘Link Zone’: an exploration of the sensation of knowledge through a practice of art and writing. It is framed by an introduction that reflects on its operation as writing-as-practice in an academic context, in which this is still uncommon, and on its publishing by performance as Oh-Link Zone (2018).
