Lux Eterna is an interdisciplinary artist living and working on Wangal Land, Sydney Australia. ‘The Embodied Gaze’
Lux’s work posits embodied sensitivities, imagination and awareness for initialisation of and at the interstices of drawing, dance, cinema, video, sound and performance.
Meditatively and kinaesthetically driven topographic explorations in various desert and forest landscapes, internally deepening the somatic embodiment of these experiences within the psyche; creation starts from here.
Exploring how these embodied sensitivities can be applied in how cameras are used via prosthetic attachment to body, for the capturing of moving bodies on screen and new evocations for embodied spectatorship. Authoring for Post and Transhuman futures augmented by embodiment, imagination and sensitivity as vital technologies.
