New Realities: Design – Arts – Technology

The project «Sounding Feet» explores how small postural changes of a dancer can be used to control music. From an artistic point of view, this interactive relationship links the musical outcome of interaction to the proprioceptive awareness of a dancer and it exposes to an audience through the auditory modality a dancer’s minute movements that might be visually hidden. The project follows an approach that combines musical ideation, dance improvisation, interaction design, and engineering. Through this combination the development and design decisions can be informed by artistic criteria.

Daniel Bisig holds a PhD degree in Natural Sciences. He is a senior researcher at the Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology of the Zurich University of the Arts.
