Demo

Abstract:

This demo is part of the pipeline that comprises my ASTS project that leverages biosensors that capture intricate neurophysiological imprints, data and signal processing, and artistic practice through sound design and performance making. It allows participants to observe their biosignals on a computer screen while listening to different streams of sensor data sonified in real-time using headphones. The goal is to externalize the operation of biosensors, devices known to capture wearer's stress response, and for participants to engage with materializations of their biosignals. The demo is phase one of a real-time particpatory performance where the relationship between bio-data, sound, and visuals are complexified to create affective intensities around my experience as a migrant in exile. This performance entitled "Curves & Reverbs: Human-Machine Sensory Performativity" takes place on Friday afternoon as part of panel P163.
