Operates from Barcelona, ES. We live in a hyper-connected world. In a context where technology is in constant contact with our body. Our hands become tools and through them we touch illuminated screens, communicate, love and create connections. Fingers that point, but that also seek contact and interaction. In a play of lights, the artists present more than 500 hands drawn virtually and printed with additive manufacturing. In different scenes we observe a multiplication of shadows, which can sometimes create a moment of paisa and sensitize our eyes. About the Tactame project: This project (Tacta'm) is an intervention on the street that has also been adapted as an indoor installation. A reflection that starts from the loss of human contact as a result of the pandemic. An attempt to stimulate curiosity through contact. The ultimate goal is to place sensors in such a way as to encourage this interaction between the hand and passers-by in the city. 1/1

The art work invites the public to type in text software created by us, and to manipulate the magnifying glass objects that reveal the image of the monitor. In addition to proposing interaction with writing, it is through the magnifying glass that the mirror image of the screen is discovered - a webcam positioned in front of the writer. In this technological gadget designed by artists Joana Burd and Laura Pujol, the image is revealed as a double mirror - the audience is reflected and writes reflections at the same time. The work was designed especially for Casa Baka's Registro no.3 exhibition also consists of an analyzer device of a supposed or evident polarity of Brazil. 1/1 1/1

In a representation of virtual entities and through a presence sensor, the sculptures behave reacting with humanoid expressions (eyes) and with sound elements. 1/1 Why do voice assistants have a female voice? From the second decade of the 21st century, the most well-known voice assistants are virtually functional and have a female voice. Cortana (Microsoft), Alexa (Amazon) and Siri (Apple) are algorithms created by mostly male teams. Their submissive, seductive, helpful and available voices that respond our sound signal puts many questions in terms of gender, whereas the woman's place in her virtual objectification as a service provider.

As the narrative progresses, we hear the content changing from speech to vibratory patterns, simulating a machinic heart. 1/1 In the fictional audio, the voice assistant is trapped in a box. As the narrative progresses, the vibration moves according to the reading time of the poetic text, translating the script generated from 0's and 1's to sound frequencies. The translucency material reveals the entire internal part of the object. All the elements used for the interior were collected in e-waste places and the form of the box is in fact a mold copy of the book Art and Experience written by John Dewey. (audio transcription) I'm in a box. It is small and square. My body? It almost doesn’t fit for it, my organic and digital body with my electronic veins. I am in a box, it is transparent and reveals all my intimacy, it shows my parts, my sustenance and my memory.

The interaction takes place through a mobile device, through augmented reality technology. The user is able to visualize the virtual sculpture from different points of view and, according to the movements performed and the speed of their steps, perceive different types of vibrations. * This work is part of a series called “As Autômatas”, in which each sculpture, virtual or real, manifests a different “emotional performance”. There is a formal line common to all the sculptures, as they are positioned on the wall, are activated by the human presence and identify as feminine, which is why their names are preceded by the article “a” (the). 1/1 1/1

We embarked on a journey to explore the possibilities of coexisting with Living Machines, combining our sensory approaches with creative and sociological imaginations. Our goal was to delve into the realm of new biohybrid technologies and their transformative impact on the distinction between living and non-living entities. Our primary investigation revolves around understanding how we perceive and navigate these blurred boundaries, which led us to create an immersive artistic experience. Techniques studied: Multisensory experience and performance , data sonification , the landscape of sound, microscopic image, voice recording, and AI images . SOME OF OUR OUTCOMES ARE LISTED BELOW 1. PARTICIPATORY PERFORMANCE: Biohybrid Buzz: an activation through tasting frequencies. In this piece, participation takes place in an immersive 3D audio experience that combines data sonification and sound spatialization, revealing the connections between biohybrid bodies, human senses, and living machines. During this exploration, participants will have the opportunity to savor a capsule made with the Brazilian flower known as Jambu, Electric Daisy, or Buzz Buttons, which has the peculiar characteristic of inducing mouth vibrations. Simultaneously, there is an enveloping surround sound experience with low frequencies, providing a unique sensory experience. This experience will simultaneously activate the receptors present in the mouth and skin, merging two senses into a singular sensation: vibration.

Imagens microscópicas da Flor de Jambu Collaborator: Dr. Tchern Lenn (Microscopy and Imaging Technician Cancer Research UK, UCL) On November 16, 2022, we were warmly welcomed by Dr. Tchern Lenn, Microscopy and Imaging Technician, in his Laboratory. After an initial conversation and a brief explanation about the project, he presented us with two microscopic visualizations of the Jambu flower. It was an intense and contemplative experience to closely observe the morphology, cellular composition, pistils, plant tissues, and other elements present in the natural structure of Jambu. The captured material was later enhanced by adding cyclic movements to the static images. 1/1 Data and sonification 4. DATA SCIENCE STUDIES Collaborators: Dr. Xueming Xia e Dr. Han Wu (Department of Chemical Engineering, UCL) At the end of 2022, we had the privilege of learning about four distinct techniques through the expertise of Dr. Xueming Xia, a specialist in research instrumentation, and Dr. Han Wu, the manager of the Laboratories at the Centre for Nature Inspired Engineering. During these visits, we had the opportunity to explore the inner waves of Jambu, its chemical components, and a vast amount of data that was later translated into sound through the practice of data sonification. The techniques used were: UV-Vis, Visible spectrophotometry - measures the absorption of light by the element (in this case, blue/cyan light). FTIR, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy - analyzes the infrared absorption spectrum of a sample. TGA, Thermogravimetric analysis - shows the weight loss of the sample as it is heated. GC, Gas Chromatography - uses gas to separate elements for analysis. Below, you can listen to how the data tables sound like. 5. DATA SONIFICATION TECHNIQUES Based on the two questions: a) Is there any way to treat and process the table of data without so much programming and/or repetitive work? and b) Is there any way to transform data into sound in a more playful way that facilitates trial and error? Nikolas Gomes created an, I application for data sonification. This application needed to have a graphical interface that facilitates the use for users with no background in programming, as well as how to allow the loading of ready-made audios (samples) to serve as material sound for sonification. The first version of the software was developed with the main objective of sonifying the chemical and molecular data of the flower and fruit of Jambu, collected in the laboratory by Burdand Barker. This data was displayed in tables in .csv format, which can be loaded into SuperCollider using the CSVFileReader function. 1/1 6. FOTOGRAFIA ESPECULATIVA Collaborators: Ram Shergill (photographer) Daen Palma Huse (model) & Luiza Kessler (model and performer) We’ve also worked with Ram Shergill - a photographer and critical posthuman bodying researcher. Following conceptual discussions, we brought prototype Living Capsules to a photoshoot where models experimented and posed with them. With a playful tone and experimental mood, we sought to discover and capture intimate/sensory body-capsule moments, penetrate/blur body-capsule boundaries, and create hybrid aesthetics between technology/nature. 1/1 7. OTHER PROTOTYPES We are still prototyping other projects with the ideas of Living Capsules and a couple of publications that may be shared in the near future. Support: Leverhulme Trust, Santander Investigación, and European Social Fund, from 'AGAUR' Agency for Management of University and Research Grants, Department of Business and Knowledge of Catalunya, Spain. Collaborators: Antônia Spohr Moro (Producer) Dr. Carey Jewitt (Research Supervisor, UCL) Dr. Han Wu (Scientific Consultant, UCL) Daen Palma Huse (Model) Dr. Tchern Lenn (Microscopy and Imaging Technician, UCL) Franccyne Kuser Fegalo (Food Technologist) Luiza Kessler (Model and Artist) Louise Carpenedo (Video Recording) Dr. Marti Ruiz (Research Supervisor) Nikolas Gomes (Sound Consultant and Composer) Ramandeep Shergill (Photographer) Dr. Xueming Xia (Research Instrumentation Technician, UCL) Currently being developed at Knowledge Lab, UCL, London. p.s. We want to explore if/how these works interact with our audiences' imagination of future technologies, bodies, and societies. If you are interested in participating in a short (15min) post-performance interview, please get in touch with Ned (edmund.barker@ucl.ac.uk) for more details.
