The aim of this text is to reflect about two opposed dynamics regarding to body transformations in Cybercultre: the body’s obsolescence linked to virtualization and the reappraisal of corporeal experience. To this scope, we will analyze these issues regarding to the very transformations of the notions of space and place, considering their intrinsic relationship with the body. Then, we will try to put forward these different ways of conceiving and constructing space, place and body from the point of view of the artistic practices, considering the artistic uses of telepresence technologies, which are a material basis of the above-mentioned dynamics. I consider this approach essential because artistic practices, as symbolic constructions of society, are – and have always been – regulators of the world conceptions, as they propose critical points of view and practical and aesthetic experiences that, straying from the everyday life, allow new glances at reality. This becomes evident in our current technologically mediated environment, as the artistic practices using ICTs as creative means denaturalize our interactions with them. In this way they open new possibilities for reflection about their impact over culture and, in this case, over our conceptions of the body, the space, the place and their relationships. - See more at: http://interartive.org/2015/05/reconceptualizing-body-space-place-telepresence-art-gomez/#sthash.M0gUFx4w.dpuf
