Couch, Amanda (2017) Does my data taste good? An exploration of research data produced during my practice. In: Does my data look good in this? Exploring research data management in the creative arts, 18 January 2017, The Hatton, London, UK. (Unpublished)
- Details
Presentation of the research data I produce within my art research. Presented at the workshop, ‘Does my data look good in this? Exploring research data management in the creative arts' organised by the Centre for Digital Scholarship, Library & Student Services, University for the Creative Arts (UCA) and funded by Jisc.
I involve the lived experiences of my own body to invite understanding of a personal and universal sense of self. Much of the work engages with cooking, food and/or eating, to explore ‘visceral knowledge’ as Hillman defines as, ‘knowledge experienced in as well as knowledge of the interior of the body’.
Currently, new work is investigating ways in which the modern world engages with ancient knowledges, especially those of the body and landscape, for example, through the histories and practices of extispicy, divination of the entrails, which has led me to become a practicing liver diviner.
I am also interested in the book: language, reading, and writing in relation to the body: books as bodies and bodies as books: folds as metaphors of digestion and the alimentary canal, tracts and digests, reading as rumination, and livers as tablets.
