Web site: http://www.deeplistening.org/site/artists/a http://www.ioct.dmu.ac.uk/projects/ISE.html I compose virtual sound environments and transform my scores in multimedia interfaces. I am extending and re-implementing an Interactive Sonic Environment - London Underground, which I initially built in Director, using Lingo language. http://bartleby.ioct.dmu.ac.uk/~xalarcon/project/interactive.html Soon, I will launch my site that links the metros of London, Paris and México, thus you can have a virtual journey through the sounds of these three acoustic environments, on Internet. As a branch of this work, I have worked a networked off-line improvisation called "Listening and Remembering", for commuters and their voice (in México and Paris), in collaboration with Peter Batchelor. Technology for me is not a goal, but a set of powerful cultural tools to analyse, experiment with, and extend perceptions of the world. My recent artistic work is mainly based on ethnographic work with commuters: http://soundingunderground.wordpress.com I am inspired and feel encouraged with these women's work in art and technology: Pauline Oliveros: her outstanding work in electronic music and the continuous innovation in the use of technologies extending her philosophy of deep listening. http://www.deeplistening.org/site/artists/O IONE: her art, dynamic networking, stimulating women's art and power through dream work, using telecircles. http://ionedreams.us/ Serena Alexander: Strong electroacoustic textures and gestures, clean and master work, extending the power of her voice. http://serenaalexander.com/ Jess Laccetti: a master blogger! http://www.jesslaccetti.co.uk Noemí Peña: researcher in high technology to create "Custom Ceramic Products" http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/9b8/a48 Best, Ximena _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
