The Body as Medium

"The Body as Medium" refers to the idea that our physical form acts as an interface through which we experience and interpret the world. Just as a medium in communication channels information between two points, our body channels sensory inputs—sight, sound, touch—allow us to perceive reality. This perspective emphasizes that our bodily sense organs and nervous system serve as the medium that filters and transmits external stimuli, shaping our consciousness and understanding. Essentially, the body is the essential conduit that mediates our connection between ourselves and the environment.
