- Motion and Representation is a sole-authored, 100,000-word monograph published by MIT Press. The fruit of five years of practice-based, historical and theoretical research, the book explores the representation of human movement as formal language. Based on critical theory, the book argues for the co-relation between human movement, formal thinking in terms of mathematics or computation, and technology. Drawing on a critical methodology that combines historical and contemporary praxis, the book ultimately conceptualises the kind of thinking that motion representation can afford, and how the human body thinks in space, through time, via articulated movement.
