In this series, I embody transdisciplinary research practice through my performing as an instrument or medium between others and myself, and between cultural traditions for understanding and mediating the body. Drawing upon my expertise as a clinical acupuncturist with training in biomedicine, I use Chinese medicine and music theories to inform my algorithmic soundscape compositions. These soundscapes are not sonifications of modern Euro-American principles of circulation or embodiment but offer another perspective to conceive of/listen to the interior spaces of the body-in-being. In this transdisciplinary study, practice-based research is used to give form to the transdisciplinary research process by producing performances, personalised sound works, graphic notations and interpersonal correspondences that interweave artistic, medical and technological ways knowing together into new material configurations. This project also questions the distinctions between premodern and modern, East and West and self and other. To investigate these distinctions, Pulse Project interrogates the aesthetic and philosophical axioms underpinning modern and contemporary art, medicine and technology through using premodern Chinese medicine and music theories in tandem with cutting edge technology. Thus, this research travels laterally between cultures, practices and epochs and calls for a radical change in conceiving of the body in ‘oriental’ and ‘occidental’ terms in order to both reduce ethnocentrism and also to travel beyond the tired bifurcations between mind and body, self and others and Western and othered cultures. In combining art, technology and diverse medicines together with contemporary digital culture, this project opens transverse lines of inquiry that create new interconnections between disciplinary practices, whilst at the same time, it generates new forms of cultural engagement through performance and sound works. Keywords: Practice-Based Research, Transdisciplinary Research, Art, Science and Technology Studies, Chinese Medicine, Sound Studies. ii Contents i Acknowledgements ii Abstract vii Copyright 1 Preface 2 * Notes on Navigating this Thesis 3 Introduction 3 Summary of Overall Project 5 Context for Research Questions 7 Research Aims and Objectives 9 Research Questions 12 Dissemination and Contributions 13 Research Approach and Methodologies 14 Ethical Considerations 15 1.

As such, the production of practice-based works forms the fundamental basis for making contributions towards transdisciplinary research, particularly the cross-disciplinary field of art, science and technology studies (AST).2 This project’s research objectives and questions originate from my experience of practising as an artist-acupuncturist within the context of the (British) biomedical clinic. Viewed syncretically, these practices can be characterised as transdisciplinary and intercultural by their very nature, since working with the body as an artist-acupuncturist within context of the biomedical clinic integrates together three disciplines (art, medicine and technology) and two cultural approaches to medicine (biomedicine and Chinese medicine). Given this experience, I have come to view the Chinese medicine clinical encounter as a unique time-space that contains

    Turps Studio Programme | September 2019 – July 2020 Application Information (deadline 5th May 2019) We are now accepting applications for the Painting Studio Programme | September 2019 – July 2020, based at Turps Art School, Taplow, Thurlow Street, London SE17 2UQ. This is a unique opportunity for a select group of painters to take up residence in their own dedicated studio within an exciting studio and gallery development in South East London, just 10 minutes from Elephant and Castle. Participants embark on a year-long programme of intensive mentoring, dynamic group seminars, talks, exhibiting opportunities, and crits with the option to stay for a second year. The course is designed to fulfill a fundamental and broad view of what we believe a solid painting programme requires by creating an environment that parallels the studio practice of an independent artist, within the supportive structure of an intensive mentoring programme. In this studio context we focus on encouraging, developing and reflecting upon the specific qualities an artist brings, and developing a high level of exchange and debate. Participants will be expected to work within this professional environment with commitment and a strong work ethic, as well as participating fully in a community-based studio. Programme Overview: • Each participant is provided with a studio space within the open plan Turps Studios with 24 hour access seven days a week. Additional benefits include kitchen and free wi-fi access. • One to One Tutorial Sessions with a team of dedicated mentors on a fortnightly basis. • Regular Dynamic Group Seminars and crits with all course members and the staff team.
