Susan Morris: Untitled Motion Capture Drawings

LONDON GALLERY WEST, UNIVERSITY OF WESTMINSTER

The pictures in this exhibition resemble the graphic traces produced by the nineteenth-century French chronophotographer, J.E. Marey, who developed machines able to track the involuntary actions of the body, such as heart beat, respiration rate and so on. These sensitive recording instruments could pick up minute vibrations and transmit them to a stylus that would make white wavy lines on a blackened rotating cylinder. He hailed these machines because they are more sensitive than human perception and because the graphic trace is a direct language for communicating the information recorded. It was a fundamentally new kind of automatic writing or involuntary drawing that could pick-up, as Fredrick Kittler wrote, ‘the murmuring and whispering of the unconscious oracles.’

For her Motion Capture Drawings, Morris performed repetitive movements wearing sensors in a high-tech motion capture studio. The activity was captured as data files, transcoded into line and printed like a photograph onto archive inkjet paper. They show, in plan, elevation and side views, the complex bodily unconscious that accompanies our deliberate movements.  The MCD is therefore something between a creaturely scribble and a diagram bearing scientific data — a kind of notation, trace or shadow of the source action from which it was generated.
