The action of a motor will be driving an axe that will hit the performer with the blunt end, repeatedly, over the course of the event, unless a user intervenes.  The user&#039;s voice, as long as they are reading, stops the motor.  The aim of the project is to interrogate what it means to share history, and to connect that history to the body\/emotion through the use of technology (is there such a thing as cyborg history?).<\/p>\n<h3>Classes<\/h3>\n<p>Introduction to Physical Computing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicholas Hubbard Historical Contusion asks the question: when we physicalize, make visible the impact of silence around difficult topics, are we willing to engage, and stay engaged? http:\/\/www.ndhubbard.com\/itp\/historical-contusion\/ Description This project is an durational performance and installation in which users are invited to read a primary historical text that contains difficult\/troubling content (a massacre that &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/historical-contusion\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Historical Contusion<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[454,335,16283,462],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-benedetta-piantella-simeonidis","category-introduction-to-physical-computing","category-nicholas-hubbard","category-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4242,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199\/revisions\/4242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/winter2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
