biosonics

​Performance, 10 min

​
​'BioSonics' is a biosignal-algorithmic sonic work performed by Monica Tolia, in collaboration with programmer Terry Clark. The work uses machine learning to manipulate sonic effects and frequencies through the algorithm's reading of the performers’ data. The performer wears sensor bands that communicate her EMG data in realtime to the algorithm, producing the uncanny machinic soundscape.
