MY MONO NO AWARE – An interactive sound walk to promote self-recognition

Mots-clés: Soundscape, Soundwalk, Sound Instance, Digital Media-Art

Résumé

This article presents the process of designing, implementing and testing, albeit with a limited audience, an interactive audiovisual artefact. Inspired by the concepts of soundscape and soundwalk, the artefact uses an empirical method of exploring sound environments for the perception and understanding of human daily practices. Through the combination of sound, generative and digital media art, this artefact aims to exemplify a method of construction of individual sound representations, testing, afterwards, the degree of self-recognition of the portrayed individuals. Supported by a qualitative methodological approach of ethnographic and phenomenological nature, the artefact is developed according to the a/r/cographic method, being this article a concretization of the final stage of that method.

His artworks are an investigation into representations and conceptualisations of facts and situations as well as depictions of ideals and interventions, optimally materialised through media art. They demand and challenge the audience's attention, metaphorically expressing his intentions through aesthetics and technology, while allowing the audience to freely interpret and build the narrative through interaction and exploration.
