Abstract

This paper presents the artistic creation and research work developed for the piece Emovere (2015), an interactive dance and sound performance. Emovere’s creation process focused on configuring artistic material by exploring the biology of emotion in association with physiological signals and the induction of emotional states based on corporeal patterns. The composition methodology drew from a creative interdisciplinary laboratory that used Alba Emoting and interactive technologies with biosensors to generate artistic material. Four designs that propose a relationship between the performers’ bodies and an interactive-sound environment are presented and discussed in order to illustrate an artistic interdisciplinary approach that reflects on the biology of emotion.

Abstract

This article aims to reveal how corporeality emerges from the meeting of the body with technologies, specifically in the context of the creative process for the interactive dance and sound piece Emovere (2015). Emovere’s creation process focused on configuring artistic material by exploring the biology of emotion, through experimenting with induction of emotional states based on corporeal patterns, using the Alba Emoting method, developed by the chilean psychologist Susana Bloch. At the same time the project involved experimentation with physiological sensors to modulate a sound environment by the dancers, creating an iterative process between embodied listening, sound composition and dance movement. A series of perceptive, sensory and affective practices had to be carried out in order to integrate the materials suggested by the experience with the emotional induction and the interactive and sound environment, arousing the emergence of new patterns of movement rooted on this new corporeal configuration.

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a Max/MSP flexible workflow framework built for complex real-time interactive performances. This system was developed for Emovere, an interdisciplinary piece for dance, biosignals, sound and visuals, yet it was conceived to accommodate interactive performances of different nature and of heterogeneous technical requirements, which we believe to represent a common underlying structure among these. The work presented in this document proposes a framework that takes care of the signal input/output stages, as well as storing and recalling presets and scenes, thus allowing the user to focus on the programming of interaction models and sound synthesis or sound processing. Results are presented with Emovere as an example case, discussing the advantages and further challenges that this framework offers for other performance scenarios.

Abstract

This paper presents the work developed for Emovere: an interactive real-time interdisciplinary performance that measures physiological signals from dancers to drive a piece that explores and reflects around the biology of emotion. This document focuses on the design of a series of interaction modes and materials that were developed for this performance, and are believed to be a contribution for the creation of artistic projects that work with dancers and physiological signals. The paper introduces the motivation and theoretical framework behind this project, to then deliver a detailed description and analysis of four different interaction modes built to drive this performance using electromyography and electrocardiography. Readers will find a discussion of the results obtained with these designs, as well as comments on future work.
