Abstract

This article explores the vital importance of the sensory at the nexus of the artificial and real life. Co‐existing within colonial histories, the artificial and lived are bound up with intractable violence and inequities driven by capitalist, militarist, and anthropocentric trajectories. Our collaborative article examines the 30‐year practice of the non‐binary, Gamilaraay/Wailwan/Biripi artist r e a. As we contend, r e a's experimental media arts practice pivots on sensory and affective truth‐telling of the "artificial". Their work is a re‐Indigenization of country, body, and experience, specifically because digital art represents an "unoccupied space" for counter‐historical transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
