Expression Sensible

By Rémi Digonnet

Sensory Expression/Expression Sensible aims to be a digital space, with no anchorage in any specific space or time, dedicated to discussions about the senses and their expressions. It is a paradox to try to express a sensory world digitally; to question sensory expression in this way is undoubtedly a challenge, but the constraint of the digital can offer at the same time a useful critical distance from the sensory domain. This tension between the apparent immediacy felt through the senses and their mediated formulations calls into question this double articulation between the experienced and perceived senses on the one hand and the mediated and translated senses on the other. What kind of adequation exists between them, or rather, what kind of inadequacy is generated by such a tension? Besides advertising recent publications on the senses, scientific events, or sensory cartographies, the journal intends to publish thematic issues dedicated to the senses and their expressions.
