Presentation

The project intends to develop a first person based research on Self-awareness. It will favor a heuristics based on the feedback loop of material artifacts, such as face masks, with which the bodily and situated Self is entangled. Such a heuristic is valuable for an ecological understanding of the Self's cognitive and affective agencies displayed in interpersonal relationships. This is all the more crucial today as the current technological advancements in the implementation of human cognitive processes need to be understood for the feedback effect they exert on the subject involved.
