Sonic Organism is a performative experiment and a practical field to study digital choreography. In it, I explore the distribution of performative agency to a participating audience and the methods of designing interactive movement sonification systems, through which the choreographic event unfolds.
In this human-technology entangled, performative world, the artwork unfolds organically through an improvisational co-creation that sensitizes the human agents for intra- and inter-corporeal listening. The work invites indulging in participatory expressive activity sensorially and corporeally. Ontologically, the artwork becomes actualized and choreographed by and with its performing audience. The entangled mattering of the performance by its humans and digital system creates the performance, which, in theorist Karen Barad’s terms, is intra-active.
As a social structure, it is a resonant space where the human agents engage with the world and each other in a reciprocal affective manner.

Sonic Organism and its creation process is part of the doctoral research, investigating ethical and feminist practices of Digital Choreography.
