Slippage: Presentness and location in an art situational context between the I and Me natures of the self

Traditional art viewership is static and places a gap between viewer and art. This chasm hinders relationship between viewer and art. As such, no sense of ‘presentness’, moments of ‘being’, with art exists. An art situation demonstrates that employing art object(s), their Form establishing context for relational understanding, and as Installation, having Zones, necessarily reveal Order and Types that govern moments of presentness through one’s Dual Bodily Unit. Association of Zones, Objects and Ma, employs Zones to measure; peripatetic actions, proprioception to phenomenology and visa-versa; art object(s) perception and relationship; Ma as the settling into space - time intervals that affirm, as methods of engagement, moments of ’presentness’. A “Slippage” occurs between one’s cognitive and corporeal senses. These define interpretations via perceptions. Durational investigation establishes moments of being present. This situation facilitates and transforms; one is free to interpret, reinforcing ‘presentness’, in the Ma of space - time; naturally occurring investigative processes are explorative and active. This produces moments where art and participant share, and, are connected within the same space - time. The I self, subjective, projective, imageless interfaces with the Me object, memory recall self, within the field of art object(s), actualizing moments of presentness. These findings suggest existence is explorative and relational and that one’s dual natures, I / Me, are fully equipped and actualized, in a world of art objects, and this art situation creates moments of presentness. Importantly, Art is now brought into a shared situation where one appreciates their ‘being’ with Art and world.
