Sensory Data Dialogues: A Somaesthetic Exploration of Bordeaux through Five Senses
People: Fiona Bell, Karen Anne Cochrane, Alice C. Haynes, Marion Koelle, Courtney N. Reed, Alexandra Teixeira Riggs, Laia Turmo Vidal, and L. Vineetha Rallabandi
Year: 2025
Description: Join us in a hands-on studio in Bordeaux, where data merges with creative embodied methods to explore and document sensory experiences. Using sensors to measure bodily and environmental phenomena such as heart rate and air quality, alongside actuators like vibration and light devices, and qualitative somaesthetic methods such as body mapping and written reflections, participants will capture and reflect on sensory data across sight, touch, taste, sound, and smell. Together, we’ll uncover how these experiences shape meaning-making and ecological awareness.
