Workshop: Sonic Interactive Arts.
Friday 16/10 (12.00-15.00)
Monday 19/10 (12.00-15.00).
The experience of Live Electronics in contemporary music pointed out one of the main problems of the musical production by means of new technologies: the importance of real-time control of the electronically produced sound. It is a matter of recovering expressiveness and, more in general, an embodied relationship with the creation of musical sounds.
Nowadays, such a research path emerges in the more general context of the interactive arts. The objectives of interactivity are many and varied, with a common and constant element: a reflection and interrogation on the potentialities offered by new technologies in terms of recovering the body in the relationships with digital tools.
In this sense, creating sounds through computers becomes part of an innovative and fertile artistic world. In interactive arts, in fact, it is standard practice to approach and merge into a single artistic product multiple channels of communication regarding different modes of perception that can go from the auditory to the visual, tactile and proprioceptive ones. This way of proceeding, defined with the term multimodality, refers not only to the presence of several stimuli that act simultaneously, but also to their synergic action that creates something different from the simple sum of the individual components.
The workshop is an introduction to the scenario of interactive sonic arts. The theoretical part will be followed by practical experiences aimed at creating simple interactive environments for performances and/or installations focused on sound in a multimodal perspective. The techniques used will range from the use of plug and play controllers, to that of objects technologically augmented by means of sensors and actuators built and programmed by the students.
