The conceptions of “body” in design processes have had major ontological shifts in this contemporary and post-disciplinary era. Arts-based research practices play a pivotal role in augmenting the existing theoretical methods as negotiations between materiality and body. With this ongoing discourse and shift in perspectives globally, the role of the active body and associated embodied aspects ensure its fundamental role in experimental research both in art and design. 

This has resulted in an expansion of the somatic perspectives of the body, which is explored for a vast expressive understanding and is inspired by analyses of the interaction with technological interfaces or tangible matter.
