Movement interactions with our mediated environment are continuous and in flux, yet, with rhythmic, repetitive engagement they become internalized in our bodies and serve as a sort of embodied referential index. In this article Schiller focuses on technologically mediated physical repertoires that are used in her practice as a choreographer but more precisely in our daily lives. She examines action-perception mapping within the context of technologically-based movement interactions. This includes an analytical discussion regarding the ways in which technologies inscribe the body and cultivate one's kinaesthetic perception. She describes the way in which her notion of the kinesfield, which extends Laban's kinesphere, focuses not only on the body and its surrounding environment, but on the dynamic reciprocal exchanges taking place within a movement field which consists of our biological, forces (gravity and electromagnetism), the atmosphere and our sociocultural condition. She suggests that various technologies we use in communication, medicine and transport which are part of this movement field, have historically been cultivating our physical repertoires. She claims they are affecting not only our gestural repertoires but also our perception of movement. She describes how these technological interfaces mutually co-constitute our perceptions and thus repertoires of kinaesthetic inscriptions as a historical and interdisciplinary constant.
