In speaking about modern body art, Taylor says, "In many ways, the transformation of reality by electronic media is a practical extension of processes of abstraction and dematerialization (pre)figured in high modern art. When the body appears by disappearing on the screen, it becomes effectively immaterial." (Taylor, Mark C.. Hiding. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1997. p. 111) The body is still the body when it has no substance, it is simply transformed. |
