Encounters:
Embodied Matters of Entanglement
National Taiwan University of Arts (NTUA)
Taipei, 2023
Guest lectures on collective sensing, time-space concepts, and embodied mapping.
In collaboration with the Graduate School of Contemporary Visual Culture and the College of Performing Arts at NTUA, Timothy Nouzak facilitated a series of research guest lectures. The project explored how embodied practices—such as collective listening and sensing—can reveal new understandings of time, space, and digital composition.
The research aimed to rethink the relationship to the body in two distinct contexts: first, by exploring how somatic practices translate into digital video technology and visual composition; and second, by using "concept mapping" to visualize the invisible structures of collective improvisation.

Guest Lecture: Embodied Practice & Digital Composition
(Graduate School of Contemporary Visual Culture)
The guest lecture invited students to explore concepts of time and space through the body. Participants investigated how somatic strategies—such as feedback loops, repetition, and frequency—can be carried into digital contexts. By working across live performance and video, the group developed a clearer sense of how composition operates in both media, and how digital spaces can be shaped by physical presence.
The aim was to rethink the relationship to the body by engaging in practices of collective listening and sensing. Through shared exercises, participants surfaced skills and modes of attention that could be translated into video-based work,working with compositional elements such as feedback, geometric form, repetition, and rhythm/frequency. Moving between choreographic thinking and digital visual composition, the lecture opened an “in-between” working space where live action and screen-based composition inform one another. This approach gave participants room to decide where the core of a performance sits, onstage, on screen, or in the shifting relation between both, while developing expanded ways of composing performance through applied video practice.
