UNSEEN TO SEEN: IMMERSIVE ARTS FESTIVAL
Videos encapsulating the whole Festival of Immersive Arts 2022.
Kimberlee Koym-Murteira invited groups and the public to create body casts of their hands for a part of the project named Gestures Toward Touch. The casts embody a physical manifestation of reconnection. Hands classically are said to be one of the most expressive parts of our body. They are also responsible for so much of the activation/engagement of our lives. As we leave the circumstance of the pandemic the act of making these plaster cast in groups and transforming remnants of people's bodies into fine art pieces to help bridge the many disruptions of the last few years.

The Virtual Real: Making in an Disembodied Times
Cal State East Bay Spring 2022
The embodied experience is evermore challenged in contemporary life; how do social media realities, and furthermore remote learning, shape us as artists and designers? The objective of this class is to contextualize and critically consider the various modalities of being in bodies - what does somatic work mean when so much of art making, being, learning happens in a virtual real?
Somatic Practice employs movement to integrate sensation and reflection. Brought awareness presencing the history of culture, story, fragility and power that a unique body possesses. Our class flows from body practice to art process. The course encourages students to develop new connections to understand artmaking from a different perspective, an invitation to find resonance in authentic voice.
During a time of dissociation, the class offers somatic connection. Employs Isolation as an opportunity to connect deeper to self. Students
create collaborative and independent projects, outcomes include emerging media, installation and performance.
