The Recorded Body 1
(2025)
author(s): Ryan Evans
published in: Research Catalogue
The Recorded Body is a process-based sound art project about bodily iteration and interdependence. It uses participatory performance and embodied listening techniques to explore the following questions: How do we recognize each other's bodies? What is contained by the body, and what is outside its bounds? When does a body need or necessitate other bodies?

Between 2012 and 2017, two cultural institutions and two universities in Hamburg collaborated in an experiment in the growing field of artistic and art-based research: Within the programmes Assemblies and Participation (2012-2014) and Performing Citizenship (2015-2017), they explored forms and formats of research in between art, academia and society. PABR (Participatory Art Based Research) understands research first and foremost as a triangular relation and interaction between art, science and society. This field of art-based research experiments with formats that involve not only artists and researchers, but also members of other communities such as children, neighbors, activists, experts, (non-)citizens. Artistic practices are thereby the crucial resources to change the relationship between research and the public and to create research practices in and for society. Fifty research projects have been designed and conducted so far to weave participatory research, participatory art, and cultural studies into a methodology that could be called the "Hamburg School" of participatory art-based research (Peters et al. 2020). In PABR, other forms of knowledge, which, for example, come from everyday practices, or exist as body or experiential knowledge, are valued as equal to academic or artistic knowledge.
Methodologically, the research setups that have been used by Liz Rech in the context of her performative research projects can be assigned to the field of PABR.

The phenomena within this research is performance artwork, containing performance documentation from the previous artist’s performances. The research outlines the necessity to lessen the gap between the live and documented performing body on the one side, and enhance the emotional and empathic connections with the viewers of the documentation within an artwork on the other side. The research task is to define the main key points of interconnectedness between layering within the performance artwork, containing performance documentation and empathic connections-building with the spectators of performance documentations integrated into the new performance. The research question is: How layering impacts multileveledness of perception of the performance artwork, containing documentation from previous performances?
The main concepts are documentation, layering, multileveledness and participatory performance. The main research results are: the cyclic aspect of layering; the gap between the live and documented body in performance can be narrowed by the involvement of biometric data as one of the layers in documentation; layering is connected to multilevelendess of access and emotional and empathic response to the content of documentation by the viewers. The research results can be used by performance artists, performance scholars and those involved in performance art education.
