Meditative Symbiosis is a trans-disciplinary project that explores the interdependence of a living organism and an electronic system.

BLOBBOX
Sebastian Löbbers (DE)
Using computers, smartphones and other electronic devices has become a crucial part of daily life. But how do we interact with our devices? How might they become a more intuitive extension of ourselves? BLOBBOX is an attempt to imagine an alternative narrative where hand recognition becomes the predominant interface.
Ολοι
Antonella Nonnis (IT)
Ολοι (pronounced Olly) from the Greek “all” is a tangible sonic interface made in felt and stretch lycra. The idea was that of creating an orchestra where different instruments are activated by pulling the colored stretch lycra. Each instrument plays a different scale of notes. When the lycra strings are pulled together, the sounds form a soothing composition and the users are able to create different harmonies. The work was developed to stimulate social interactions during play time with Ολοι for a group of five minimally to non-verbal children with autism who like music.
