the body and the prosthesis





recording of experiment with glass thermometers.
site: studio room
method: every hour, I recorded methodically the temperature of the air, the window, the wall, inside of the wall, the ground, my hands, my legs, my laptop, and inside my pocket.

each object in series affected the temperature of the next. if this process of heating/cooling the next object by induction continued, without intervention of the bodies temperature regulation system, or the electronic HVAC system in the room..what would happen? perhaps a positive feedback? where one cause feeds back on itself, and causes more of itself..a means towards disorder. The opposite, is what occurs now in the room. The temperatures are controlled, and revert back to order thanks to the HVAC and regulation system in our bodies. boo.
