IntraBeing: Expanded Feet, 2023

What lies within the bounds of being? IntraBeing explores the boundaries of imaging the human body to imagine a boundless and intra-active sense of being. Eli Joteva worked remotely with researchers at Fraunhofer MEVIS to develop the work, exploring the capacities of medical imaging and simulation techniques to locate the enigmatic spaces that emerge at the limits of resolution and computation. For eight hours, artist in residence Eli Joteva performed a series of full-body MRI scans and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), commonly used only to visualize neural connectivity in the brain, to instead reveal nerve fibers in the chest, pelvic region and the feet of her own body. She was inspired by the fact that hydrogen atoms, on which MRI processing relies, are also in constant nanosecond flux and thus elude precise measurement. These components are key elements of the three-screen installation, complete with AR extension, which shows an oscillating internal landscape of hydrogen atoms, the nerves they flow along, and the magnetic potentials generated between them.
