In Sensorium  contemporary artists and writers explore the implications of the techno-human interface. Ten artists  chosen by an international team of curators  offer their own edgy investigations of embodied technology and the technologized body. These range from Matthieu Briands experiment in \"controlled schizophrenia\" and Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Millers uneasy psychological soundscapes to Bruce Naumans uncanny night visions and Franois Roches destabilized architecture. The art in Sensoriumwhich accompanies an exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Centercaptures the aesthetic attitude of this hybrid moment  when modernist segmentation of the senses is giving way to dramatic multisensory mixes or transpositions. Artwork by each artist appears with an analytical essay by a curator  all of it prefaced by an anchoring essay on \"The Mediated Sensorium\" by Caroline Jones. In the second half of Sensorium  scholars  scientists  and writers contribute entries to an \"Abecedarius of the New Sensorium.\" These short  playful pieces include Bruno Latour on \"Air \" Barbara Maria Stafford on \"Hedonics \" Michel Foucault (from a little-known 1966 radio lecture) on the \"Utopian Body \" Donna Haraway on \"Compoundings \" and Neal Stephenson on the \"Viral.\" Sensorium is both forensic and diagnostic  viewing the culture of the technologized body from the inside  by means of contemporary artists provocations  and from a distance  in essays that situate it historically and intellectually.
