Unconscious Body
The "Body without Organs" (BWO), a term coined by Deleuze and Guattari, first appeared in "The Logic of Sense." Deleuze and Guattari argue that the body does not have a distinction between "surface" and "depth" phenomena but instead gravitates towards the "depth," signifying a "body as pure movement of depth." This concept negates the organic view based on organ composition, asserting that the body is fluid, liberated, and rejects binary oppositions such as center and periphery. In "A Thousand Plateaus," the Body without Organs is described as a surface of eggs, desire, and intensities of generation.
The Body without Organs is a state of the body that lacks physiological internal essence. Instead, it is engraved like the surface of a Möbius strip, marked by traces and excess pleasure, engaging in the unconscious enunciation of multiple desires. When penetrating the subject to reach the core of the unconscious, what is discovered is a pure surface of a fantasy screen. This theory emphasizes from a new perspective that experiencing the body cannot be solely through the physiological structure but should be understood in a new way, revealing the rich meaning of the body. In the philosophical context, the thoughts of philosophers such as Nietzsche, Deleuze, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, etc., constitute a historical shift from the "conscious subject" to the "body subject," inspiring more imagination and possibilities in art and design.
This project named "Unconscious Body," borrows from the "body subject" to escape the consciousness that modern humans are enslaved to at every turn. The unconscious that surfaces can be dismantled or connected at any node like a map, without the need for the signifier chain of psychoanalysis. The complexity of the unconscious is not only structured like language but must also be distinguished from any organizational method that involves binary oppositions such as reductionism, teleology, determinism, etc.
