INTIMAL is a physical-virtual "embodied" system for relational listening, to be used within the practice of networked and telematic sonic performance. INTIMAL explores sense of place and sense of presence in the context of human migration.
INTIMAL has released two modules in GitHub:
-
MEMENTO, a co-located, and “embodied” navigation system of an oral archive with Colombian women’s testimonies of conflict and migration; RESPIRO, a live, telematic transmission of breathing signals, which are locally sonified in each location;
-
INTIMAL is a research and artwork by Ximena Alarcón, and has been first developed at RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion, Department of Musicology, at the University of Oslo.
