Puerto Rico–based artists Allora & Calzadilla navigate the porous boundary between the embodied, organic perception of living beings and technology’s typically externalized, digital, and therefore apparently “objective” measuring systems. Through paintings derived from seismic data and sensor-responsive glass sculptures, Allora & Calzadilla sound out what it means to sense in environments increasingly dominated by sensing technologies in the service of extractive logics. At the same time, their practice draws attention to the subtle, often ineffable textures of somatic experience, decentralized flows of emotion, intuition, and memory, that remain irreducible to metrics. By foregrounding what challenges technical capture, Sensing engages viewers in the eco-poetic entanglements of material reality, destabilizing the boundaries of quantified perception and illuminating the mysterious bonds of matter and signal.
