How can we speak about embodiment without speaking of Louise Bourgeois? The sculpture work speaks for itself, but in thinking about reproduction, the digital and the haptic it's interesting to think of her installation called "I do, I re-do, I un-do" (2000), which also became a theater play that explored this notion of constant morphing. In the Tate Modern installation the visitors (users?) were invited to climb staircases to platforms, which could be "stages for intimate and revelatory encounters between strangers and friends alike" .
