English: Somaesthetically Informed Public Art (SIPA)
SIPA aims to take ordinary aesthetic experiences from everyday lived environments (a) and transform them into public art interventions that affect the way people think, feel and act. Somaesthetics was a term first coined by contemporary American philosopher Richard Shusterman who used it to define ways in which ‘an experience’ is felt by an individual; whilst at the same time making no distinction between the body and the mind as to how that experience is felt.(b) Shusterman’s work draws on early 20th Century American philosopher John Dewey’s definition of “an experience” needing to be unified and complete. Dewey says that, ‘we have an experience when the material experienced runs its course to fulfillment….a game is played through…a situation it is so rounded out that its close is a consummation…Such an experience is a whole…An experience has a unity that gives it it’s name, that meal, that storm…The existence of this unity is constituted by a single quality that pervades the entire experience in spite of the variation of its constituent parts.’ (c) However Shusterman also expands Dewey’s definition of “an experience” to include fragmentation & reflection. Shusterman asserts his position stating that, ‘It is… rash…to presume that what I mean by aesthetic experience is simply “the [Deweyan] sort of experience that connotes an immediate , qualitative whole” …I insist…on the existence… of aesthetic experiences of fragmentation …’(d)
SIPA draws on both the Deweyan traditional as well as the expanded definitions of “an experience” such as fragmentation, reflection & events that occur in the twilight of consciousness; as a method of tapping into experiences that contain powerful human values.(g) SIPA then takes the value laden somaesthetically felt experience; and translates it into a piece of art with an instrumental value that attempts to affect the way people think, feel and act. The first SIPA installation (h) -“Urban Interventions 3’ -was carried out in 2015 by Black Cube Collective(j) & Gayfield Creative Spaces (k) in collaboration with word artist Ed Hadfield.(m) This installation was informed by Urban Interventions (1) (n) and Urban Interventions (2) (p). Urban Interventions builds on research by artist Ed Hadfield.(q) Black Cube Collective was set up in 2012 by Ronald Binnie (r) and Svetlana Kondkova (s) to provide a platform for emerging artists. Gayfield Creative Spaces was formed in 2001 by Dr John Ennis (t) to promote the cross over between art, design and well-being. (a) Everyday Aesthetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
