Ecce techno, or, suiting the biomechanical platform: immersion and contemporary embodiment

Anne Cranny-Francis

Macquarie University, NSW, Australia

This article examines what happens in the experience of embodiment when a person is immersed or clad in technologies designed to redefine the edges and to extend the communicative capabilities of each individual body. The article also analyses how multisensory communications technology is currently challenging contemporary definitions of gender, community and technology.

Key Words: communication technology • embodiment • immersion
