Tangible Territory journal cross-disciplinary arts/science/philosophy platform focused on how we make sense with all our senses

In the long run, the aim of this endeavour is to build an open community, where certain key values are celebrated, explored, promoted. These include the importance of the whole body in making sense of our human condition, the role of imagination in offering scenarios beyond those that exist and the effects of place/space on our internal realities.

‘Tangible Territory’ is not a real physical location, but a place that lies in the liminal land between the real world and its representation (or evocation) on the screen, between our own unique experiences, informed by our senses and the interior world of our memory and imagination. Hopefully a transformative, living space, where we can meet, interact, grow: An imaginary, yet actual space, because, as C G Jung tells us, everything that acts is actual. The journal is conceived as a ‘territory’, across which different routes of exploration are to be taken, each one revealing different points of view, new vistas, new detail. Additionally, the journal is a celebration of power of creative process and as such, is an ongoing project of collective learning and improving, of sharing, collaboration, curiosity and open mindedness.

At the Edge of Senses: What Lies Beyond Ordinary Perception?
Experimental psychologist Charles Spence explores what might lie beyond the familiar five senses, from echolocation and sensitivity to seismic activity to the emerging possibilities of sensory augmentation and “sense-hacking.”

Many thanks to Charles Spence for his contribution.

Electromagnetism
Interdisciplinary artist and researcher Maria Simmons interviews Barry Simmons, her father and retired geologist, about his unusual ability to physically sense subterranean deposits

“It’s just knowing—you just know. It’s hard to describe. It’s like falling in love—there’s no logical explanation, but you just know. It’s a whole-body feeling: head, heart, body. There’s no specific sensation like tingling or anything like that, but it’s undeniable. ”

Many thanks to Maria Simmons and Barry Simmons for their contribution.

Encounters with Extraordinary Intuitives

Psychiatrist Paul Grof reflects on his and Stanislav Grof’s encounters with accomplished intuitives, and their attempts to understand how intuitive perception operates.

“Jack could eliminate any demonstrable bodily reactions to severe pain, could control whether his wounds would bleed, and markedly influenced his body temperature and EEG spectra.“

Many thanks to Paul Grof for his contribution.

At a time when technological developments are taking over huge areas of our collective and personal lives, it strikes me that cultivating our sensory, embodied and intuitive skills is not only a vital human task but also a political act.

How much agency are we willing to surrender? How much of our human experience are we willing to delegate to non-living systems and their disembodied intelligence? How much of the variety and reciprocity of our interactions are we ready to sacrifice for the pursuit of efficiency and speed at all costs?

Thresholds of Perception — Issue 10 is now live.

What lies at and beyond the threshold of conscious awareness?

Our tenth issue ventures into less charted ways of perceiving and knowing — experiences that complicate the boundaries of what we ordinarily understand as perception, and what it means to make sense of reality.

I am immensely grateful to all the artists, writers and researchers who have contributed their work and thinking to this issue.

OPEN CALL issue 10:

The natural world contains an infinite depth. It is made of layers upon layers, ever-shifting scales, hidden rhythms and unseen relationships.

What we call reality is only a small fragment of what is there.

There are worlds we cannot sense, patterns we cannot name, truths we cannot reach directly. The philosopher Martin Heidegger described truth as unconcealment — something gradually revealed rather than possessed. In Japan, the word oku points to a hidden interior, a depth that can only be approached indirectly, never all at once.

How does this relate to our own experience?

What might be hiding beyond the threshold of our ordinary perception?

For the next issue of TT Journal, we invite contributions exploring what exists at the edge of the senses: the inexplicable, the ambiguous, the contradictory, the deeply felt and difficult to articulate.

We welcome essays, reflections, visual work, conversations, artistic processes and practices that help us approach what cannot quite be explained, but nevertheless asks to be heard.

Animated Environmental Rituals
Artist Kim Noce describes a Mongolian steppe residency at Erdenesiin Khuree, where insects, ink, wind and yurt life shape animation and calligraphy. Grounded in feminist and new materialist thinking, the piece frames repetition, teaching and shared ritual as ways of sensing, caring and knowing.
