Feeling, Seeing, Hearing Balance: Empirics and Poetics of Movement
Feeling, Seeing, Hearing Balance is an interdisciplinary experiment investigating sensor-based biofeedback technologies as both clinical and creative instruments. This project explores the transgression of boundaries defining art and science as traditionally disparate cultures and seeks to approach knowledge-making from quantitative and aesthetic perspectives.
