This is an idea in art that I struggle to relate to... just as I struggle to relate to some of the most extreme ends of the art spectrum. I do know that choosing to create artwork through the body can be used to create very powerful and conceptuall work. I was intrigued that Bird chose to include the cave paintings of the Tehuelche people, who created movement and pattern by covering their hands with mineral pigments. This method of artwork could be used in a classroom with young students, not only to learn about the artwork found in the Cave of the Hands, but also to practice kinesthetic learning.
I also think that it could be very interesting to channel Richard Long's A Line Made by Walking. I think the paths we walk throughout the day and where we choose to stand tell a lot about who we are and what we do. This concept could make for a very interesting installation project or even performance piece. This is an interesting concept also juxtaposed against the digital world in which we live. People often "check in" through social media to tell people where they are and what they are doing... What if everyone had a unique set/design of footprints that highlight the places they frequented throughout the day?
