«SynBody»

SynBody is a collaborative project with Javier F. Gorostiza (DART), whose main idea is to transform movement and bodily contact into sound through technology. It consists of a suit equipped with sensors (proximity, tilt, and pressure) that enable the modification of different sound spaces through movement.

This project was a case study for my doctoral thesis, "Technology as an Extension of Sensory Faculties in the Performing Arts." It originates from a previous work titled "When There Is Contact, There Is Sound."

SynBody has been presented as a work-in-progress in various contexts, including: Performance Architectures: Wearables and Gestures of Participation Symposium – International Metabody Forum, Antonin Artaud Center, DAP Lab, Brunel University (London, UK, 2016). Art Madrid Fair – One Shot Hotels, The Makers (2017). Arte y Carne Exhibition – Museo Complutense (2017). Frankenstein: 200 Years Later Congress – Museo del Romanticismo, Madrid (2018). Department of Dance, University of Taipei (Taiwan, 2018). This project emerged as the result of a previous prototype, "Cuando hay contacto hay sonido"
