Research Feature: INTIMAL - Interfaces for Relational Listening: body, telematics, memory, migration.
In the European context of migration and diasporas, and at the intersection of sound art, music cognition, psychology and human-computer interaction, this project will develop INTIMAL: a novel physical-virtual “embodied system” for relational listening. Through the artistic practice of telematic sonic performance [link] this system will interconnect people’s bodily motion and voice with their memories and dreams of distant locations.
