AWARENESS MUSCLE
Backfrom the ABC News interview at PS1 MOMA 05/03/2007
AWARENESS [fr. conscience]
Awareness is an active state.
It is a willed state, an effort of receptivity, an intention.
In biological psychology, awareness describes a human or animal's perception and cognitive reaction to a condition or event.
Awareness does not necessarily imply understanding.
Awareness is just an ability to be conscious of, feel or perceive.
Awareness is a relative concept.
An animal may be partially aware, may be subconsciously aware, or may be acutely aware of an event.
Awareness may be focused on an internal state, such as a visceral feeling, or on external events by way of sensory perception.
Awareness provides the raw material from which animals develop qualia, or subjective ideas about their experience.
Researchers have debated what minimal components are necessary for animals to be aware of environmental stimuli, though all animals have some capacity for acute reactive behavior that implies a faculty for awareness.
Popular ideas about consciousness suggest the phenomenon describes a condition of being aware of one's awareness.
Efforts to describe consciousness in neurological terms have focused on describing networks in the brain that develop awareness of the qualia developed by other networks.
Neural systems that regulate attention serve to attenuate awareness among complex animals, whose central and peripheral nervous system provides more information than cognitive areas of the brain can assimilate.
Within an attenuated system of awareness, a mind might be aware of much more than is being contemplated in a focused extended consciousness.
When a patient goes for a surgical operation, it is desirable to temporarily make the patient unaware.
Anaesthesiologists specialise in this.
It is also a major responsibility is to prevent awareness during an operation.
This is achieved by giving anesthetic drugs through the veins and through the lungs.
Awareness is also a concept used in CSCW, albeit its definition has not yet reached a consensus in the scientific community.
In art it is maybe the capacity to be present.
Not seldom one can get the impression that artist are a profession which is currently undergoing an operation.
By an anaethesiologist.
Could the anaesthetic used be the notion of conceptual art?
We might be wrong here.
Anyway.
To be aware is to be in contact with everything around.
The ego as well as the public.
To include the search for the oeuvre and the meteorological condition, as well as the emotional and political context.
The awareness is a total disposition to be informed, and to integrate everything at once.
For the artist to redistribute this awareness in an immediate art work (which is a combination of everything which is perceived), an awareness muscle is a good thing to have.
AWARENESS MUSCLE [fr. muscle de conscience]
In the same sense memory can be trained, an awareness muscle can be developed by an effort.
To develop the awareness muscle, the artist has to reduce his business.
When an artist is busy, he is not very aware.
A daily training is necessary. But how to train?
Scanning the news in a critical way could be one exercise.
Daily debating politics with others could be another.
Looking at other point of views usually produces significant improvements.
Fighting prejudice is an excellent exercise.
Many other forms of training could also produce beneficial effects for the awareness muscle.
Continuous and daily training is important.
If not, the awareness muscle can develop into atrophy.
But, to develop the awareness muscle do require will.
