Abstract
Physicalities, modelled as behaviours and sensitivities in circuitry and programming code, unite human and digital/computer based articulations in increasingly intimate ways and give rise to the notion of a poetics of the physical. This poetics or techne of the physical, viewed not simply as an available effect/functionality but as an inherent essence of technology, is key to a deeper understanding of the broader implications of interactive digital practice. Drawing on examples from my own work with The Bodycoder System, the article explores the techne of the physical with particular reference to scenography.
