Ep #4.1 Dilettantism and the Guiding Principle of Pleasure | Worlding Podcast
Description
Diego Agulló is an independent researcher and multifaceted artist, creating contexts that continue practicing and investigating the relation between body and the event. Inspired by the term ‘Dilettante’ which literally means to delight one's-self in doing an activity, Diego and Renae attempt to blur the perceived border between what is work and life.
From this guiding principle of pleasure, Diego discusses different practices in which you can create a constant awareness of what you do on a daily basis. He begins by acknowledging that the brain has, in certain cultures, become the dominant organ and in response looks to Qigong and Tai Chi as a means to train other organs and discover what they are capable of. He often trains together with a small wooden stick - a stick that at times even ‘worlds’ him in that subtle moment when one feels that their body is being moved by something else.
