Project 1: Interactive Ecosystem
This interactive sound installation explores the intersection between nature and technology through real-time interaction. Making use of ultrasonic sensors, and electromagnetic response through plants, the participants will be able to interact with organic elements articulated by digital devices. The installation simulates an immersive acoustic ecosystem, where human presence and natural forces shape the sonic environment. As visitors move through the space, their actions influence an evolving soundscape, blurring the boundaries between organic and artificial life. Through this interactions, Interactive Ecosystem invites reflection on our relationship with the natural world in an era of technological transformation.
Project 2: Ambient Music as Mindfulness Practice
This project is presented in a video essay format and explores how ambient music can help improve focus, wellbeing and mental health. Through its calm and slow-paced nature, this musical genre helps listeners and performers cultivate awareness in the environment with mindfulness techniques through cognitive skills. In this recording we will explore other related sonic forms of meditation, its philosophical roots and contemporary applications; this video essay highlights how ambient music merges both artistic expression and meditation to enhance mental wellbeing.
