Art Residency

Bending Sound Project

Interactive sound/visual dance

Collaborative experience

Grounded on Enactivism, its framework emphasizes the dynamic interplay between performers and technology, leading to a rich and embodied creative experience. The multidisciplinary nature of the project fosters a sense of communal bond through shared exploration.

What technology implies for us:

Our collaborative exploration seeks the optimal integration of technology within our artistic perspective. This vision is guided by three core principles:
– Shared humanity: explore the common ground between artist from different backgrounds,

closing the gap between cultures and identities by embracing differences, strengthening our

unique set of skills, and merging into one of the many possible manifestation of humanity.

–  Embrace Improvisation & Error: Embracing mistakes as a learning opportunity aligns withthe improvisational nature of the project. By exploring different approaches, artists can discover new ways to convey their message.For this project we aim to use the GEP Tebukuro and GEPedal (interactive wearable MIDI controllers that reacts to the motion of the dancer and musician) to create and modify sounds. This involves the use of real-time audio processing and the exploration of generative music methods (Pure Data and MIDI sequencers) from the motion detected.For this particular residency, we want to deepen the development of generative tools that has been solely focused on sound and expand them to visual components as well. Thus, we are moving from pre designed visuals to the use of TouchDesigner as a way to pair the real- time sounds with real-time visuals.

–  Technology as an enhancer: develop our own interactive devices that can be shaped to our needs.Tech’s limitations spark creative solutions, fostering meaningful and genuine artisticexpression.
