Form, not surfaces, not form factors as in industrial design, not formats, but volume, mass, perhaps even ideal forms. What might this be? And what of Morphologies, Geologies, Topographies? Not the exhibition as a script, as notional, as instructions, as Eternal Sunshine, as instructing bodies of architecture, as formatting, no, forms in side forms, things, stuff, space, forms, monoliths, objects. object figure space bodies objecthood just what kind of object what kind of material material itself what does this itself mean? vitrine, shrine, monolith, serial structure tactility and shapes shaping light, shaping material shaping the viewer “display” to distinguished from a putative tradition or genre of “installation” ala hirschhorn

This article explores the role played by body language in recent examples of popular culture and political news coverage as a means of highlighting the potentially deceptive character of speech and promising to bypass it altogether. It situates the promise of "visceral literacy" -the alleged ability to read inner emotions and dispositions -within emerging surveillance practices and the landscapes of risk they navigate. At the same time, it describes portrayals of body language analysis as characteristic of an emerging genre of "securitainment" that instructs viewers in monitoring techniques as it entertains and informs them. Body language ends up caught in the symbolic impasse it sought to avoid: as soon as it is portrayed as a language that can be learned and consciously "spoken" it falls prey to the potential for deceit. The article's conclusion considers the way in which emerging technologies attempt to address this impasse, bypassing the attempt to infer underlying signification altogether.

Our aim in Body Matters is to remind you of your inherent materiality and the inextricable ties you have with the rest of the material world around you. It seeks to illustrate that it is inaccurate to imagine your existence is distinct and at a distance from the physical world; once this truism is realized the intellectual rupture that persuades you to imagine that you stand at a distance from the world will be repaired. In short, this book demonstrates how you are a body and that you come into being because of a set of shifting materials acting in relationship with other materials.
