Docile Bodies

 My studio space could be said to be more than just work space. Generally the students at Pratt spend the majority of their days in the studio. But space is surrounded by three walls leaving entrance from only one side. Already you can tell it has been grounded by many barriers. But these limiting factors are what makes it so special. With a wall in front of my desk, a wall behind, a window to the right, and a 45degree angled ceiling it's a pretty comfortable place. These walls a normal studio space doesn't have creates a very unique place. Theres a special feeling of intimacy.

 Being all the way in the back section 9's space, not many other students come here during the day. It's after class hours when others start to swarm near the comfy little corner. Intimacy often creates other feelings, which lead to a disconnect from reality. Time, a way of judging reality. How things change over time, a period of space for an observer to view. There are many ways to regulate time and there are many ways to regulate a space through discipline. Foucault believes discipline affects a person not through the calculation of time, but through the experience the individual has. This corner of the studio creates a form intimacy which thus effects the individuals view of time through such experience of occupying this studio space.
